Yes, agreed. I did note above that including the translation details with the original was optimal for conveying information but I didn’t emphasize it. I think that part of why people have been emphasizing status issues over serious research in this context is that the start of the discussion was about what to do with epigraphs. Since they really are just for rhetorical impact, the status issue matters more for them.
