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'.
