OCR	gemini-constrained (gemini-3-flash-preview) on 2026-01-08

Translation status	Mostly mechanical differences in punctuation and editorial bracketing, but a substantive lexical difference: Billerbeck's 'ἐκεῖθεν ἐπιδεῖν' vs Meineke's 'ἐκεῖ ἰδεῖν' (adverb + verb) alters nuance/agency ('from there to show' vs 'there to see').
