Definition 73.6.1. Let $S$ be a scheme, and let $X$ be an algebraic space over $S$. A syntomic covering of $X$ is a family of morphisms $\{ f_ i : X_ i \to X\} _{i \in I}$ of algebraic spaces over $S$ such that each $f_ i$ is syntomic and such that
\[ |X| = \bigcup \nolimits _{i \in I} |f_ i|(|X_ i|), \]
i.e., the morphisms are jointly surjective.
