Assistance requested! Could you help me check for typographical errors in the newest episode of Ancient Greek in Action? (Patreon)
Content
Hello, my dear patrons! The next episode of Ancient Greek in action is complete, but I need your help. For previous uploads I have had a few folks help me ensure the videos are free of typographical errors and all spelled correctly, but inevitably, even after hours of careful examination, we miss one or two, and then I have had to delete the uploaded video from YouTube and fix the episode to upload it again. (This happened three times last week!)
Therefore I would like you to take a look at ep.12 which is currently Unlisted on YouTube:

No matter your experience level, you will be able to help! In fact beginners have been amongst the most helpful in spotting seemingly totally obvious typos, because more experienced readers have a tendency to rush through the text even while editing, and not notice typographical errors.
Here are the kinds of spelling errors that I have been missing until its too late:
Τίνες εἰσιν
(no accent on the final syllable of εἰσίν, due to enclitic accent rules)
δαρκύ̄ει instead of δακρύ̄ει
ποταμὸς ἐστιν instead of ποταμός ἐστιν
μικρός instead of μῑκρός (missing macron)
etc.
It has always been a great surprise to me and those looking at these videos prior to their being published that we let slip these errors, because they seem so obvious. Thus my hope is that, by engaging the assistance of very many of you, if this episode has any typos I have missed, that together we can find them before I make the video public.
If you find a typo, you can respond here or comment directly on the video.
And if it turns out there are no typos, then I'll be able to publish this upload of the video around midday (New York City time) tomorrow (Friday).
Thank you so much for your help! I am deeply grateful.

P.S. This episode will arm the student to be able to read Athenaze chapter one with no need for any glosses or translation, or even pictures. It has taken almost all of my time for the past week to make this video, which is why I have been missing a few regular series here on Patreon. I'm very sorry for that! I'll be catching up with those soon. Thanks so much for your help and understanding. 😊
