[For the entire collection see Zbl 0747.00024.] The paper gives various descriptions of the 6 noncompact orientable hyperbolic 3-orbifolds of smallest volume as found by Meyerhoff and Adams. All of these have one cusp and are arithmetic. It is noted that some of these orbifolds are commensurable but with different cusp densities (the ratio of the maximal or uniform cusp volume to the total volume; note that the uniform cusp density is invariant under regular covers). Therefore, in contrast to the non-arithmetic case, cusp density is not a commensurability invariant of arithmetic 1-cusped 3-orbifolds. In particular, the above examples do not cover a common orbifold, or equivalently, do not admit a common regular covering (which always happens in the non-arithmetic case).
