Roman Letters is a working corpus, not a closed edition. Source texts, OCR, translations, people, dates, and places can all be improved when better evidence is available.

The fastest path is to open a GitHub issue with the letter URL, the proposed change, and a source citation or scan link. Individual letter pages include a prefilled correction link.
