Abstract
The Racoviță family is first documented in the vicinity of Caransebeș in 1428. The Pribeg branch emerged after 1485, founded by the noble Ladislau of Racovița. Having been held captive by the Ottomans for two decades, Ladislau earned the epithet “the wanderer” (Pribeg, Pribek). This designation evolved into a hereditary surname, employed alongside the patronymic Racoviță throughout the sixteenth century. The genealogical reconstruction encompasses twenty‑six individuals (seventeen males and nine females) across four generations spanning approximately a century and a half (c. 1460 – post 1612). For three members—Grigore, Elena, and Nicolae Pribeg—no definitive kinship connections with the remainder of the lineage have been established. Documentary evidence regarding their existence varies considerably, ranging from isolated references to continuous records extending over three decades. The family’s integration into the local elite is substantiated by several factors: the documented and recognized noble rank, substantial wealth, and the occupation of prominent offices within the administration of the Caransebeș district. The noble status was first recorded in 1448 and persisted within the Pribeg branch until its eventual extinction. The family’s property portfolio was concentrated entirely within the Caransebeș district and city. Holdings included arable land, meadows, ponds, mills, residential buildings, and gardens. Throughout the sixteenth century, the family’s wealth expanded through donations, acquisitions, inheritances, and pledges. This process of accumulation was followed by gradual asset dispersion, precipitated by the absence of male heirs. Members of the Pribeg branch held significant positions within the local governance structure, including castellanships, noble judgeships, mayoralties, and notarial appointments. These roles were reinforced by sustained support from both the local community and governing authorities. Religious and spiritual dimensions of the family remain poorly documented, as no direct testimony concerning the faith of the Racoviță‑Pribeg nobility has been identified. Nonetheless, evidence of a high cultural level is suggested in the case of Nicolae Pribeg, who served as notary of Caransebeș in 1612. The Pribeg lineage disappeared from the historical record after 1600, as a consequence of the absence of male descendants and the integration of female heirs into other noble houses.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
