Where relvant,these will be withdrawn from publication, removed from relevant systems, or (esp. in thecase of looted objects in war zones) marked as objects believed to be stolen.3.3 These requirements outlined under 3.2 do not relate to objects that are legally soldon the antiquarian market.______________________________________________________________________* Based on a text from Francisca Feraudi-Gruénais, discussed at the 3  rd   Epigraphy.info workshop in July2019, revised and completed in collaboration with Peter Kruschwitz, Silvia Orlandi, and Jonathan Prag,and approved at the 4  th   Epigraphy.Info workshop in February 2020.(02/2020)
