Entry #169
Greek source: meineke
Meineke: 448.19 | Billerbeck: Μ169
OCR: gemini-constrained (gemini-3-flash-preview) on 2025-12-28
Word count: 47
Translation blocked: Most differences are mechanical: numeral notation for 'thirtieth', punctuation/bracketing, minor orthographic variants, and a duplicated genitive phrase in Billerbeck that Meineke omits. Crucially, the pronoun differs (αὐτήν vs αὐτῶν), which alters the referent.

Entities: Μετάχοιoν (Metachoion) [place], Βοιωτία (Boeotia) [place], Ὀρχομενός (Orchomenus) [place], Κορώνεια (Coroneia) [place], Οἶος (Oios (Oion)) [place], Οἶον (Oion (dēmos in Attica)) [place], Ἀττική (Attica) [place], Μεταχοιάτης (Metachoiates (demonym)) [people], Οἰάτης (Oiates (demonym)) [people]
Etymologies: Morphological Composition: The ethnicon (demonym) is formed from 'Μεταχόιον' (i.e. derived from Μεταχοῖον), similar to how the ethnicon from Οἶος is 'Ὑξ Οἴου' / 'Οἰάτης'; alternatively 'Μεταχοιάτης' is given. Androtion calls it 'Μετάχοιρον', perhaps periphrastically.
