In the main text we present dim. - - - based on the notation in GC (→GE). In EE it is written out in syllables, which is a very characteristic manner of these editions. in FE the marking is not there at all, which was most probably caused by Chopin's hasty wrirting [A2]. See annotations in bars 335 and 336.

Rhythm in EE and an interpretation of GC's script

Rhythm in FE & GE
..

The initial rhythm in RH () is confirmed in EE and also in GC (despite an obvious error - ). Traces of printing edits in FE allow us to see that the rhythm intitially was notated in this edition too but it was changed by Chopin to . We see this variant also in GE, revised most probably based on the rhythm in the earlier phrase, in bars 322 and 326

..

In FE there is no  augmenting b to b. This is obvious  inaccurracy in Chopin's notation, as when he wrote this bar in [A2] he was convinced that the change of key signatures had already taken place.
