Mark and Steven,

Thanks a lot, I have ordered them.

No, I would not expect these text books on Greek, any more than I would
expect Wenham or Cassuto on Genesis to be text books on Hebrew.

This is no suprise. Wever assumes you have the Gottingen LXX, I mean,
who would not have it? ;-) Anyway, I can live with this problem. Perhaps
some day some money will fall from the sky and I will buy the Gottingen
LXX.

Mark,

This is what I need to know. You found it worth using. Good, I will
without a doubt find it worth useing as well.

Thanks again.
