Translation status
Most differences are mechanical (diacritic/orthographic variants, quotation marks, punctuation, and an editorial brace in Billerbeck). The main substantive divergence is Meineke's explicit addition 'καὶ τὴν πόλιν Τύλον' (identifying the city Tylon), which is not present in the Billerbeck excerpt.
