Someone recently asked about a lexicon for the Septtuagint.

There is now a brief-entry lexicon for the Septuagint in two paperback
volumnes:
J List, E. Eynikel, and K. Hauspie. A GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON OF THE
SEPTUAGINT. 2 vols. Stuttgart: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, 1994-1996.
Paper.

Each volume retails for about DM42.00 or so, i.e. about$19.00. It does have
some references to specific texts, at times gives the Hebrew which a term
translates, and minimal references to modern scholarly literature. Two
volumes would easily be bound as one.

It does make for more rapid translationo.
