Hi Carl
No, Perseus does have Josephus and I find using their
Josephus-only Greek word search is a fantastic supplement to
CCAT LXX. But in view of your previous remarks on cut and
pasting of other transliterations I took the trouble of
word processing Perseus' th, ch and o^ e^ into b-greek
standard using the Find/Replace function in Word6.0
It took about 3 minutes. (but I have finally given up and
ordered TLG-D, mainly as Perseus doesn't have Philo...)

I'm sorry, my Hebrew is rudimentary, why would hUIOI QEOI
be polytheistic in Hebrew? and is it so in other semitic
texts?
Best regards
