1  From a fit of the cross section in the energy range 0.525 $<$ $\sqrt {s }$ $<$ 0.883 GeV parameterized by the sum of the Breit-Wigner amplitudes for the ${{\mathit \rho}{(770)}}$, ${{\mathit \omega}}$ and ${{\mathit \rho}{(1450)}}$ resonances.
2  Using the GOUNARIS 1968 parametrization with the complex phase of the ${{\mathit \rho}}−{{\mathit \omega}}$ interference and leaving the masses and widths of the ${{\mathit \rho}{(1450)}}$, ${{\mathit \rho}{(1700)}}$, and ${{\mathit \rho}{(2150)}}$ resonances as free parameters of the fit.

10  From a fit of the pion form factor in the energy range 0.32 $<$ $\sqrt {s }$ $<$ 1.2 GeV using the GOUNARIS 1968 parametrization with the complex phase of the ${{\mathit \rho}}−{{\mathit \omega}}$ interference with ${{\mathit \omega}}$ and ${{\mathit \phi}}$ masses and widths constrained by the values and their errors from PDG 2022, and leaving ${{\mathit \rho}{(1450)}}$, ${{\mathit \rho}{(1700)}}$ resonances as free parameters of the fit. Systematic errors not estimated.
