Translation status	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).
