Translation status	Most differences are mechanical (punctuation, capitalization, editorial bracketing). However there is a substantive morphological/number change in the relative pronoun (Billerbeck ἃς [acc. pl.] vs Meineke ἣν [acc. sg.]) which affects which noun the relative refers to (plural Ὀξεῖαι vs a singular referent).
