I hope this won't hit the list (and I apologize if it does), but
I don't have any other address for this list, and I would like
to subscribe.
I'm a rusty Classics major trying to keep my Greek current for Bible and
patristics - I've found (as I guess we all have) that the Greek is
indispensible to accurate reading. I've got basic references here
(Kittel and L&S), but nobody to talk to about them (a common problem
outside of academia), so I'm quite excited about this list.
Thanks,

Now, I really don't understand all this posturing. ;-) There are many
indeed on this list who hold God to be the author of the Bible, and here we
are denying that She wrote it!

You asked...
<<I subscribed to this list because I need some information for a paper
I'm writing. I need to know how the word "keleuma" which is translated
"shout" in 1 Thessalonians 4, 16 is used in extra-Biblical literature.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also could used some
documentation for footnoting.>>
You'll find KELEUSMA (or KELEUSMATOS) used by
Josephus in Antiquities 17:140, 199
Philo in Abr. 116
Proverbs 30:27, LXX
I particularly like the image in Proverbs (LXX), since I can imagine
hearing the sound of the locusts coming. (Note that the Hebrew Masoretic
reads a bit differently. The LXX translators may have read KuLo "all of
them" as KoL "voice".)
Good luck.

Subject: how to transliterate / scandinavian participants
Hi
I have searched the internet in order to find something like a fact-
sheet on how to tranliterate Greek and Hebrew into e-mail-able
characters. Could someone give me a hint on where to look, please?
Also I plan to make an academical/theological maillist for scandi-
navian languages (Danish, Norwegian and Swedish) soon.
Should anybody be interested: Send me a note and I will mail you
back when the list starts.

Our archive was accidentally destroyed last week, so I am posting this again.
The non-standardized letters are xi, chi, psi, eta, and omega.
There is no standard transliteration scheme on B-Greek. However, most people
will use one of the following six schemes. Note that these schemes use either
upper case or lower case, not both, since a change in case may signify a
different letter.
LETTERS TLG/CCAT Simplified Modified Standard
ACCENTS Beta Code CAPS Lower CAPS Lower Digraph
alpha A A a A a a
beta B B b B b b
gamma G G g G g g
delta D D d D d d
epsilon E E e E e e
zeta Z Z z Z z z
eta H H E H E E
theta Q Q q Q q th
iota I I i I i i
kappa K K k K k k
lambda L L l L l l
mu M M m M m m
nu N N n N n n
xi C C c X x x
omicron O O o O o o
pi P P p P p p
rho R R r R r r
sigma S S s S s s
tau T T t T t t
upsilon U U u U u u
phi F F f F f ph
chi X X x C c ch
psi Y Y y V v ps
omega W W O W O O
digamma V f w
koppa q q
iota subscript | i i
smooth breathing )
rough breathing ( h ( h h h
acute accent / / / /
circumflex accent = @ = ~
grave accent \ \ \ \
diaeresis +
The following are the same for all schemes.
upper case *
(following character is upper case)
apostrophe '
hyphen -
comma ,
period .
raised dot (colon) :
question mark :
dash _
Note that both medial and final sigma are transliterated the same.
Accents are usually omitted for all schemes except TLG unless they are
necessary for the sense of the post.
Breathing marks and the * to indicate upper-case are written at the beginning
of the word.
Accents and diacritical marks are written directly after the coding for the
character above and below which they are located in the source document. They
follow the second character of a diphthong.
Note on TLG/CCAT Beta code keyboard layout: This was originally created to
enable appropriate software programs to translate TLG coded texts into
different Greek fonts used by different platforms.
