On page 164-165 of srednicki's printed version (chapter 27) on other renormalization schemes, he arrives at the equation $$m_{ph}^{2} = m^2 \left [1 \left ( +\frac{5}{12}\alpha(ln \frac{\mu^2}{m^2}) +c' \right ) + O(\alpha^2)\right]$$
But after taking a log and dividing by 2 he arrives at
$$ln[m_{ph}] = ln[m] \left [ \left ( \frac{5}{12}\alpha(ln \frac{\mu}{m}) +\frac{1}{2} c' \right ) + O(\alpha^2)\right]$$
Why is there no ln on the $$\frac{5}{12} \alpha$$ term?
