OCR: gemini-constrained (gemini-3-flash-preview) on 2025-12-21
Word count: 16
Translation blocked: The main substantive divergence is the numeric expression: Billerbeck's OCR yields 'ρ' (rho) while Meineke reads 'ἑκατὸν' (one hundred), changing the explicit numeric reference. Secondary differences are conjunction/particle choices (καὶ vs οὖν and addition of δὲ) and a minor orthographic/diacritic variant in the toponym (Κροκέηθεν vs Κροκεῆθεν).
Entities: Κροκέαι (Krokeai (Krokeae)) [place], Λακωνία (Laconia) [place], Κροκεᾶται (Krokeatans (inhabitants of Krokeai)) [people], Κροκέηθεν (from Krokeai (toponymic adverb)) [other]
Etymologies: Unclear Metalinguistic: 'Krokeai' — a Laconian city.; Unclear Metalinguistic: 'It is also said in the singular.' (the name also appears in the singular form).; Morphological Composition: 'The inhabitants are called Krokeatai.'
