Text Details

Entry	#78
Greek text	meineke
Edition ids	Meineke 358.8 · Billerbeck Κ78
OCR	gemini-3-flash (gemini-3-flash-preview) on 2025-12-18
Word count	28
Translation status	Most differences are orthographic (accents, breathings, capitalization) and minor punctuation or numeral-notational (γ̅ vs τρίτῃ). Crucially, Meineke contains an added clause 'οἰκεῖν ἀνὰ τὰ ὄρη' ('to dwell among the mountains'), which Billerbeck's excerpt lacks — a substantive addition that affects sense.
