Translation blocked: Most differences are mechanical (punctuation, numeral abbreviation expansion) but there is a substantive lexical/morphological divergence in the Strabo quotation: Billerbeck's reading ('οἱ Ἀττικοὶ Μοψοπίαν') differs from Meineke's ('ἡ Ἀττικὴ Μοψοπία'), which changes the grammatical form and likely the referent.
