Dear Robert,
the issue of hapax legomena is very interesting indeed. I got in its
stranglehold once and dealt with it in a minor chapter of my doctoral
thesis (especially talking about those hapax legomena in 2Peter).
There is a brilliant book by my colleague Christian Wagner giving
you
some major insights in the problem of how to define and how to
make
any use of hapax legomena. If you want to look up the hapax of a
specific biblical text, you might refer to Aland. Both are given
underneath. But do not forget that there might be some
methodological
problems of how to define a hapax legomenon.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me off-list if you have got any
questions or indications. You can also have the relevant pages of
thesis, which unfortunately still is unpublished (but time will come,
next spring).
