Translation blocked: Most differences are punctuation, bracketing/quotation, and minor orthographic or diacritic variants. Notable substantive difference: the phrase describing Διαγόρας differs — Billerbeck records 'φιλόσοφος καὶ ᾀσμάτων ποιητής' while Meineke shows an ellipsis/omission, and the case of Ἀριστοφάνης is different (Ἀριστοφάνη vs Ἀριστοφάνην).
Sources: Ἀριστοφάνης (Aristophanes) Nu. 830

Etymologies: Borrowing Non Greek: The Phoenicians were earlier settlers, whence it was also called 'Byblis' (or 'Byblos') from the Byblians (the Phoenicians).; Eponym Person: It is said to be from 'Mēlios' (i.e. the name derives from a person/figure called Mēlios).; Morphological Composition: The ethnicon is 'Mēlieus' (Μηλιεύς) and — via Doric α — forms such as 'Mēlia-kos' (Μηλιακὸς) and 'Mēlís' (Μηλὶς) are used for the country (i.e. these are formed from the base name).
