Describe the bug
Clicking the Greek polis leads to a Perseus error

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to 'https://coptic-dictionary.org/entry.cgi?tla=C10233'
  2. Click on 'the real Greek word, the blue hyperlink'
  3. See error

Expected behavior
no error LOL

Screenshots
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/resolveform?type=exact&lookup=poli/s&lang=greek is the erroneous link

Additional context
Fix: the diacritic is on the O, not the I; the next URL will solve this problem

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/resolveform?type=exact&lookup=po/lis&lang=greek

By the way, feel free to close issues that you fix, even if it's just in Dev; I'm not going to verify any of these, I'm just investing time and energy in making this product better. I'm odd that way

Thanks for reporting - this is an error in the original XML (line 252266).

I could patch these things locally but I'd rather see the XML data fixed (which I can also do and push); except that I assume the XML is generated by scripts from the BBAW/DDGLC database, so I don't want to create synchronization problems. @dwerning - should I just fix this and push the corrected XML to GitHub or is this better fixed at some earlier source upstream?
