What does it mean when multiple 々 marks follow a 、?
I was glancing at some old manuscripts from the Heian period (左経記 pg. 10) when I saw the following:
I know that typically 々 means to repeat the previous kanji, but what does it mean when its following a 、? Also, is there a reason there are so many of them in a row like in 々々々應召?
punctuation symbols kanbun

Wild guess, the two in a row stand for 巳及, and the three in row stand for 令召右.

This is not really Classical Japanese, it's Kanbun(漢文), which is really just Classical Chinese(文言文)

The「、」is just a generic pause mark - notice how there's no「。」in the entire book, which means「、」would be rendered as either「、」or「。」in a more modern orthography. Also @sazarando JSE doesn't seem to have a tag forkanbun

The forward(part of the 標題 section)is in Classical Japanese though...

Making a new tag for kanbun makes sense. I wouldn't say kanbun is "just" Classical Chinese, though.

「々」is called「同{どう}の字{じ}点{てん}」it is used to repeat 1 previous character.
人人 = 人々
When there are multiple 同の字点 it means to repeat 'n' previous characters.

「々」is called「同{どう}の字{じ}点{てん}」it is used to repeat 1 previous character.
人人 = 人々
When there are multiple 同の字点 it means to repeat 'n' previous characters.
