Significant typo in BDAG

Found a rather major typographical blunder in BDAG, under STOICEW (C=chi).
BAGD (2nd ed) has, correctly:
EIS hO EFQASAMEN, TWi AUTWi ST. <ital>we must hold on to what we have attained <\ital> Phil 3:16. ST. TOIS ICNESIN TINOS <ital> follow in someone's footsteps <\ital> (s. ICNOS) Ro 4:12.
The third edition (BDAG) added an additional phrasing of Phil 3:16 (or perhaps the intent was to revise the existing phrasing), but it ended up with a double error. The new text is not only misplaced; it also replaces a chunk of text related to Rom. 4:12 that is now omitted. The new edition reads nonsensically as follows:
EIS hO EFQASAMEN, TWi AUTWi STOICEIN <ital>we must hold on to what we have attained <\ital> Phil 3:16. ST. TOIS ICNESIN TINOS <ital> let our conduct be consistent with what we have already attained <\ital> (so REB; s. ICNOS) Ro 4:12.
Have fun making an efficient marginal correction! My best attempt is, within the text of the article, to bracket [let our conduct be consistent with what we have already attained <\ital> (so REB;] and supply this note in the margin: "bracketed portion applies to Phil. 3:16. Add in its place 'follow in someone's footsteps' per 2nd ed."
If anyone knows an email address for reporting errata to U of Chicago Press, please forward this message or pass along the address to me so I can report it.
Blessings in Christ! (Acts 3:26),
