MATT BELL I appreciate any time taken to undertake such a task. I am trying to get the available funds to purchase a copy of Philo so I can undertake the task myself, but it is not likely I will be able to do so until the middle of next month. Quotes from NT writers demonstrate nothing until it is established that there was a extra-Pentateuchal BC LXX for them to quote from and the LXX did in not fact quote from the NT. Thanks Matt Bell
