Translation blocked: Meineke's entry is more expansive and better-edited: it includes additional citations (e.g. Callimachus/Καλλίμαχος), discussion of the place-name history (Στράτος, the country called Δύμη), plural/formal variations, and normalized citation sigla. Billerbeck's OCR excerpt is shorter, contains bracketed fragments and OCR artifacts (<ϛ>, <***>, angle brackets), and omits or truncates several clauses present in Meineke. Many differences are mechanical (accents, numerals, brackets), but there are substantive omissions/additions that affect content and reference.
