Translation blocked: Meineke contains a substantial bracketed insertion (quotations and alternate etymologies and citations — Hesiod, Hellanicus, Marsyas, Cleidemus) that Billerbeck's OCR excerpt omits; apart from that, most differences are orthographic/diacritic (accent, breathing) and minor punctuation/editorial-mark variants.
