Notes on line 5:

At the beginning of this line, you can note the unusual division of the word from line 4, Ἀντιγένο- / -υϲ. Typically, words are divided at syllable breaks, or between double letters. The letters in this line, particularly in the middle, are significantly compressed and difficult to read.
