Hello,

BHS uses a siglum to refer to a particular manuscript of the LXX.  
However, I cannot seem to figure out which manuscript that is, and the 
Prolegomena does not seem to have this siglum in its list.  The siglum is 
a Gothic G with a rather sickly-looking theta to its right in superscript 
(as well as a ' marker next to this letter).

An example of it may be seen in notes d and e to Daniel 7:1.  My first 
guess was that this refers to a recension of LXX by Theodotion.  However, 
I have no idea if Theodotion ever did a recension of the LXX.  Also, I 
have not read much Greek outside of very modern, standardized tyepfaces.  
Am I correct to assume that this is an alternate form of a theta?


thank you all very much,

cheers,

andrew gross
