Editions of dramatic texts are not only structured on the basis of
<div>
<div> for each dialogue or choral part, strophes, antistrophes, episodes, etc., but also include the specification of which text is uttered by each of the characters.
To indicate this, the
<sp>
<sp> tag (spoken text) is used, with the following syntax:
<div type="lyric" xml:id="grc.pro.lyr">
<head>τὰ ἀμοιβαῖα (88-201)</head>
<sp who="#grc.Serv">
<speaker>Παιδαγωγός</speaker>

<l n="89">ἐπεί σε μήτηρ παρθενῶνας ἐκλιπεῖν</l>
<l n="90">μεθῆκε μελάθρων ἐς διῆρες ἔσχατον</l>

The above example illustrates a dramatic passage, including a lyrical part involving two characters. Each character's speech is enclosed in an
<sp>
<sp>, with its @who
@who attribute indicating the @xml:id
@xml:id we have assigned to the character in the <castList>
<castList> (cf. Dramatis personae).
The first tag to be included in each
<sp>
<sp> is <speaker>
<speaker>, which will contain the full name of the character(s) who are speaking. The rest of the speech will be structured based on <p>
<p> and <l>
<l>, according to the reference edition we are following.
