[Μαντύη καὶ] Μάντυα, πόλις Ῥωμαίων. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Μαντυανός. Πολύβιος ἑκκαιδεκάτῳ. γράφεται καὶ Μάντουα τῷ τῶν Ῥωμαίων ἔθει. ἐξ αὐτῆς ἦν Βεργίλιος ὁ ποιητὴς Μαντούτης χρηματίζων. ἔστι δὲ κατὰ συγκοπήν, ὡς τὸ Ζελείτης.

Translation statusMostly 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.
