The setting

Here Swete’s text spells the fifteen as two separate words, “δέκα πέντε” (“ten, five”), where Brenton’s 1851 edition instead uses the single compound numeral πεντεκαίδεκα (“fifteen”) — the same total, 715, in two different numeral constructions; the frozen text here follows Swete/Codex A.
