2 long accents in A

Long accent in FC (→GE)

2 short accents in FE

2 vertical accents in EE

The two long accents we give in the main text come from A. The copyist overlooked the second one in FC (→GE), and short accents in FE result from inaccurate recreation of A. The vertical accents in EE are an arbitrary revision characteristic of this edition.
