        Loeb Classical Library publishes three volumes of selected texts from the
papyri found in the Egyptian desert which are letters, legal papers, poems,
etc. I mention these volumes because they are more economical than trying
to get the original publications of the papyri.

        Other writers, besides the LXX already mentioned by Robert Bower (and to
that, among Jewish writings, we should add Philo, Epistle of Aisteas, Greek
Enoch and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs), are Polybius, Diodorus
Siculus, Strabo, Plutarch, Epictetus, Artemidorus, Pseudo-Apollodorus,
Vettius Valens, _et al._. I'm not familiar with all of these in Greek, but
they are works mentioned as belonging to the Koine corpus in that very
informative introduction to the BAGD (A Greek-English Lexicon of the New
Testament).
