Base text after Brill’s New Jacoby / Jacoby (FGrH). The apparatus records differences against the open-corpus witness (Scaife/Perseus) within the overlapping span; encoding and orthography are folded. Collation codepoint-verified and adversarially audited (2026-06-26).
| Lemma / locus | BNJ base | Witness | Type | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | … (U+2026, after καὶ τὴν γεωγραφικήν) | Perseus tlg0099.tlg001.perseus-grc2 1.1.1 | abridgement | Editorial ellipsis. The candidate replaces the witness clause 'γεωγραφικήν, ἣν νῦν προῃρήμεθα ἐπισκοπεῖν. ὅτι δʼ οὐ φαύλως νομίζομεν ἐκ πολλῶν δῆλον·' (witness tokens 11b-23) with '…'. Deliberate abridgement of the testimonium, NOT a textual variant. The trailing comma on the witness's 'γεωγραφικήν,' falls inside this elided clause, so it is subsumed by the abridgement and is not recorded as an independent punctuation variant. |
| — | ὑπῆρξαν· | Perseus tlg0099.tlg001.perseus-grc2 1.1.1 | punctuation | After ὑπῆρξαν the candidate prints an ano teleia '·' (U+00B7); Perseus prints a comma ',' (U+002C). Substantive punctuation choice (colon-stop vs comma before the list of geographers). |
| — | Ὁμηρός (initial Ο dasia only, U+1F49; raw ῾Ομηρός = U+1FFE + U+039F) | Perseus tlg0099.tlg001.perseus-grc2 1.1.1 | word-variant | Accent difference on the name Homer. Perseus prints 'Ὅμηρός' with the initial omicron carrying dasia + oxia (U+1F4D) — the enclitic-throwback acute from the following enclitic τε; the candidate prints 'Ὁμηρός' (nfc U+1F49 / raw ῾Ο) with dasia ONLY, no throwback oxia. Both keep the lexical tonos on final -ός (U+03CC). Genuine accent variant (missing enclitic-throwback acute), not a breathing-encoding artifact — verified by re-attaching the candidate's spacing breathing and comparing full diacritic content. |
| — | Ἑκαταῖος ὁ πολίτης | Perseus tlg0099.tlg001.perseus-grc2 1.1.1 | punctuation | No comma after Ἑκαταῖος in the candidate ('Ἑκαταῖος ὁ πολίτης αὐτοῦ'); Perseus sets off the apposition with a comma ('Ἑκαταῖος, ὁ πολίτης αὐτοῦ'). Substantive punctuation divergence. (The Ε-initial breathing on Ἑκαταῖος itself — candidate raw ῾Ε U+1FFE+U+0395 vs Perseus U+1F19 — is dasia in both, i.e. encoding-only, recorded in encoding_diffs.) |
| — | φησί, | Perseus tlg0099.tlg001.perseus-grc2 1.1.1 | punctuation | After Ἐρατοσθένης φησί the candidate prints a comma ',' (U+002C, 'φησί,'); Perseus prints an ano teleia '·' (U+00B7, 'φησί·'). Substantive punctuation divergence — mirror-image of the ὑπῆρξαν case (the two witnesses swap comma/ano-teleia at these two boundaries). |
| — | Εὐδοξος (υ = psili only, U+1F50) | Perseus tlg0099.tlg001.perseus-grc2 1.1.1 | word-variant | Accent difference on the name Eudoxos. Perseus prints 'Εὔδοξος' with the upsilon carrying psili + oxia (U+1F54); the candidate prints 'Εὐδοξος' with the upsilon carrying psili ONLY, no acute (U+1F50). Genuine accent variant (missing acute on the second syllable). Initial Ε is bare U+0395 in both, so no breathing question arises. NOTE: this difference was NOT recorded in the prior apparatus and is added by this re-collation. |
