The ten Menaion readings added in #220 were scoped `greek` because no OCA source was to hand to say whether Slavic keeps them. oca.org's daily readings are plainly fetchable, so the question is now settled rather than assumed. Nine of the ten are correctly `greek`: on each date oca.org either gives a different reading (Apr 25, Apr 30, May 7, and Jul 5's Gospel) or none at all (Jul 13, Aug 31, Sep 24, Dec 17). The tenth is shared -- both traditions read Gal 5:22-26; 6:1-2 on Jul 5 -- but should stay as two rows rather than collapse to one `common` row. They carry different attributions and both are right: Slavic's says "either Saint", because OCA commemorates Athanasius and the uncovering of Sergius of Radonezh's relics that day and the Epistle serves either, while Greek's names Athanasius. Merging would force one tradition's attribution on the other. Also adds oca.org to Part II's source notes, including the trap that surfaced here: a commemoration appearing on the page does not mean it has proper readings. oca.org lists the Appearance of the Cross on May 7 and the Myrtle Tree icon on Sep 24 and gives neither a Liturgy reading. Incidentally, on all eight dates the app's Slavic output matches oca.org exactly, Vespers and Matins included -- the first direct check of the Slavic data against its own source anywhere in the doc.

Both traditions read
Gal 5:22-26; 6:1-2on Jul 5, so collapsing to onecommonrow looks like the obvious cleanup. It would be wrong: the two rows carry different attributions and both are accurate. Slavic's says "either Saint" — OCA commemorates Athanasius and the uncovering of Sergius of Radonezh's relics that day, and the Epistle serves either — while Greek's names Athanasius.
