Translation blocked: Mostly mechanical differences: diacritic/orthographic variants and a numeral written as 'ιε' vs spelled-out 'ἑκκαιδεκάτῳ'. The main substantive difference is Meineke's editorially bracketed insertion of an alternate name 'Μαντύη καὶ' before Μάντυα.
Sources: Πολύβιος (Polybius) (16,40,7)
Entities: Μάντυα (Mantua) [place], Ῥωμαῖοι (Romans) [people], Μαντυανός (Mantuan (ethnic)) [people], Μάντυα (Mantua (variant spelling)) [place], Βιργίλιος (Virgil) [person], Μαντούτης (Mantuan (ethnic, variant)) [people], Ζελείτης (Zeleites (ethnic/form)) [people]
Etymologies: Morphological Composition: It is also written Μάντουα according to the Roman custom.; Morphological Composition: From it was Virgil the poet, being called Mantuites (Μαντούτης).; Morphological Composition: And it is by syncopation (a contraction/shortening), like (the name) Zeleitēs.
