Hi Mike! Thanks for the information on cwwe. I notice that, in the IQP's attempt to convert the Coptic to Greek, they use agron for cwwe in 78.1. Is cwwe,...

... Yep, but the third letter of the Coptic word is that 'W' with a tail on it, which is an 'sh' sound. The standard GThomas transliteration scheme would...
Hey Mike- I haven't gone through your new revision line-by-line, by any means, but I REALLY like the new format. Good Job, and do not quit. Rick Hubbard Humble...

HI Mike, Like others, I think your new version is a signficant improvement on the old, which is not to say that the old is bad, just that this is even better. ...
Hi Judy, ... What I'd like to see is some support for this claim. Most of the historical developments in question seem to have no datable events associated ...

Many thanks, Jack. Your positive assessment of my work means a lot to me. I realize that my contributions to the list have been pretty sparse over the past...
One of the projects I alluded to last night in my note to Jack Kilmon was to _finally_ get images of the Brill facsimiles of the GoT pages of Codex II online....
