I suppose one ought to check out the text of Genesis in the great
Goettingen Septuagint or in the old Holmes and Parsons to see whether both
readings do not appear. After all, EIPAN for EIPEN reflects the later
tendencey to make strong aorists conform to weak aorist suffixes. The same
phenomenon occurs in some New Testament manuscripts. [I don't have these
editions available to me at home, only the Rahlfs, which is, after all,
based on a very slender textual basis.
