Translation blocked: Meineke presents a substantially longer entry: after the basic identification (city of Pisatis from Δυσπόντος), Meineke adds topographical detail (location on the road from Elis to Olympia), inscriptional evidence naming athletes from Δυσπόντιον with Olympiad numbers, and a Tryphon quotation about the ethnicon. Billerbeck's (truncated) entry contains only the brief identification and two ethnicon forms. Many visible differences are mechanical (accents, punctuation, numeral notation, bracketed restorations) but the added epigraphic and explanatory material in Meineke is substantive.
