Bekker numbering: page, column (a or b), and line, after August Immanuel Bekker's 1831 Berlin edition. Pages span the whole corpus from 1 (Categories 1a1) to roughly 1462. Canonical form: page and line are positive integers without leading zeros; the column letter is lowercase.

Regex: ^(?<page>[1-9][0-9]{0,3})(?<column>[ab])(?<line>[1-9][0-9]?)$
