Translation blocked: Billerbeck presents a plural lemma 'Λωτοφάγοι' and reads an adjective 'Λωτοφαγῖτις' applying to both 'ἡ χώρα' and 'ἡ γυνή' (with articles and an editorial marker). Meineke instead reads 'Λωτοφόρος χώρα' and 'Λωτοφαγῖτις γυνή' (no articles), shifting the adjective for 'χώρα' to a different form and explicitly assigning 'Λωτοφαγῖτις' to 'γυνή'.
Entities: Λωτοφάγοι (Lotophagi (Lotus-eaters)) [people], Λωτοφαγῖτις (Lotophagitis (the land or a woman of the Lotophagi)) [other]
Etymologies: Unclear Metalinguistic: The land and the woman are called 'Lotophagitis' (i.e. relating to the Lotophagi).
