Translation blocked: Aside from a punctuation difference after the lemma (mid-dot vs comma), the principal divergence is the numeral/ordinal attached to Διονύσιος: Billerbeck shows a short/garbled numeral 'ις' (possibly 16) while Meineke gives the spelled-out ordinal 'ἑκκαιδεκάτῳ' (17th). This is likely an OCR or typesetting error in Billerbeck rather than a mere orthographic variant.
