In H.R.I.'s CAVI the following standards are used. Not all of them are conform to the Leiden system (S. Dow, Conventions in Editing: A Suggested Reformulation of the Leiden System, GRBS Scholarly Aids, 2; Durham), and AVI will eventually adjust them:
| <...> | omitted letters |
| (...) | miswritten letters |
| {...} | letters inserted by mistake |
| [...] | letters lost |
| ^ | gap between letters, whether caused by intervening objects or not; the former is usually noted. |
| v. vac. vacat | whole letter spaces left blank |
| : | two-dot punctuation |
| :* | three-dot punctuation [[In his PDFs, H.R.I. now uses three dots from SymbolAthenian.]] |
| | | line break |
| dotted letters | letters uncertain when taken out of context [[The dots do not show properly below the letter, but in an extra space to its right; we are working on it.]] |
| accents and breathings | usually omitted for name labels and repetitive vase inscriptions such as kalos-names and signatures. Sentences on vases and all words from sources other than vases are usually accented [[more often in H.R.I.'s recent PDFs than in the version here used for AVI]]. |
| long marks | added sporadically to name labels, especially for the ending -ōn. |
| Ligatures | [[In his recent PDFs, H.R.I. has introduced the Unicode ligature mark below the line (035C), a͜b. In AVI, ligatures are explicitely stated, e.g. "Με lig.".]] |
| Syllabic heta (H = he in the Attic alphabet) | [[In his recent PDFs, H.R.I. has the Unicode ligature mark above the line (0361), e.g. h͡ε. In AVI, these cases are explicitely stated by "h(ε)", e.g. "h(ε)βε".]] |
