Hello,

James Adair and I have been composing a set of Greek entities for use in
encoding Greek characters used in printed journals such as Semeia and the
Journal of Biblical Literature.  This set is limited to those characters
which would appear in such materials and is NOT meant for use in the
encoding of Greek manuscript witnesses. Entities are used in SGML/TEI
documents to stand for a character not found in the ASCII character set. 
(A more fornal definition of these entities in the context of a Writing
System Declaration will follow after evaluating all comments and remarks
on the proposed entities. 

I am forwarding to the list the set of Greek entities which we have
developed for your review and comments.  At the same time, I would
appreciate any comments you have on the entities that would be needed or
useful for the encoding of actual Greek manuscript witnesses. 
Abbreviations that are written using special characters, ligatures of
common letter pairs and the like would be in the category of graphical
characters that would merit a separate entity. If you wish to forward any
comments concerning the entities needed for manuscript witnesses to my
personal address, I will summarize the comments and suggestions for
reposting to the tc-list. 

Your assistance and comments on these proposed entities is greatly 
appreciated. 

Patrick
