No indication in FE

dimi-nu-en-do in EE

dimin. - - in GE1

dimin. - - - in GE2 (→GE3)

Quite a significant difference in the range of the diminuendo indication suggests that it was written by Chopin in GC and base text to EE independently. The earlier ending of the dashes determining the range of this indication in GE1 is probably a result of an inaccurate interpretation of GC and perhaps also difficulties with finding place for some of them.
