Entry #7
Greek source: meineke
Meineke: 216.22 | Billerbeck: Δ7
OCR: gemini-constrained (gemini-3-flash-preview) on 2025-12-18
Word count: 43
Translation blocked: Most differences are mechanical (punctuation, quotation marks, diacritic/orthographic variants). The main substantive difference is that Billerbeck supplies the participle οἰκοῦντες (in editorial brackets) which Meineke omits; that addition changes the descriptive detail of the phrase.
