Translation status	Most differences are mechanical (diacritics, numeral-mark notation, punctuation/quotation), but Meineke contains a substantive addition: a quoted clause reporting that inhabitants were expelled and an expedition was made against the city (ἀποστήσας ... ἐστράτευσεν ἐπὶ πόλιν Δύστον). This addition and the accusative form Δύστον change the semantic content.

Ε 43). σεσημείωται τὸ Δύστος πόλις Εὐβοίας.
