Since Monday, 1 June 2026 the #PleiadesGazetteer editorial college has published 8 new and 142 updated place resources, reflecting the work of 8 people. The usual Monday blog post will summarize the full preceding two weeks' worth of such work, but meantime, here's a #SneakPeek at a new place resource with an unusual path into Pleiades. Jeffrey Becker ( @serviliusahala ) noticed a short prose discussion in the "Introduction" to Barrington Atlas Map 46 ("Bruttii") in the first volume of the BAtlas Directory: "Lenormant (1881 II, 15) records traces of ancient silver workings at Verzino on a tributary of the R. Neto six miles north‑west of Zinga ..." but no corresponding entry in the associated "Names" table. Because of that omission, no corresponding entry in Pleiades was created during the original programmatic ingest. Jeff has filled the gap, crediting the original compilers: https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/636943626
