[DCRM-L] DCRM(B) 4D1.3-4D1.4

[Auyong, Dorothy]

And now, the elephant in the room.  How would we encode that nicely elegant transcription into the new RDA 264 MARC format?  http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd264.html

Another second--and I've added this as an example in my copy of DCRM(B). ESTC's transcription exemplifies the potential awkwardess that 4C3 addresses.

I am cataloging a pamphlet that has a confusingly constructed imprint. DCRM(B) 4D1.3 and 4D1.4 do not quite address this situation. The title in question is "An Heroic Epistle to an Unfortunate Monarch by Peregrine the Elder [i.e. William Combe]," 1778; ESTC T36159: http://estc.bl.uk/T36159

The imprint reads (with line breaks and original punctuation and capitalization):

LONDON:
Printed in the YEAR M DCC LXXVIII.
And may be had of E. Benson, No. 13, PATER-NOSTER-ROW.


Reading DCRM(B), I see three possible transcriptions:

1) London : $b And may be had of E. Benson, No. 13, Pater-Noster-Row, $c printed in the year MDCCLXXVIII [1778]

    (with a note about the transposition)

2) London : $b [s.n.], $c printed in the year MDCCLXXVIII [1778], and may be had of E. Benson, No. 13, Pater-Noster-Row.

3) London : $b Printed in the year MDCCLXXVIII, and may be had of E. Benson, No. 13, Pater-Noster-Row, $c [1778]


ESTC went with option 1 above (without the transposition note), but I'm leaning towards option 3. What sayeth the collective wisdom?

Many thanks in advance,
