Reading through Metzger's biography I came across the following:
It is an inscription in the courtyard of Hagia Sophia:
NIYONANOMHMAMHMONANOYIN
NIYON ANOMHMA MH MONAN OYIN
"Wash your sin not only your face."
Metzger also notes a comment from James E. Frame,
"that if a student wished to understand the thought of NT writers, and had
to choose between studying either Greek or Hebrew, a case could be made for
choosing Hebrew."
He also notes:
"If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence
to convict you?"
The book:
Bruce M. Metzger
"Reminescences of an Octogenarian"
Hendrickson 1997
Best wishes
