Dates have been cautiously standardized. "Late sixth or early fifth", "Late sixth - early fifth", and "Late sixth/early fifth" are now with "or". "Mid sixth", "Mid-sixth", and "Middle sixth" are now "Mid-sixth". 7564 and 7565 had "Late, 465- (Smith)" but 7006 had "Second quarter sixth. Ca. 465-460{1}" with "so H.R.W. Smith: late Lewis Painter" in the note. This has been standardized to "Late: 465-460 (Smith)", and the note suppressed (as well as the error, sixth instead of fifth, corrected). Alia similiter.
