Among other features, the 33 papers, two each in German and French, highlight the great number of ancient texts now in the process of being translated into modern languages. Other topics include Ezekiel 24:15-24 in Hebrew and in Greek, lexical variants in the Greek texts of reigns and chronicles, reactions to the Panel on Modern Translations, a Greek-Hebrew index of The Antiochene Text, and the Psalm headings in book one of the Syro-Hexapla Psalms. There is no index. (We can't help pointing out that beginning the title with "X" deviates from how most proceedings volumes are titled and catalogued.) Annotation c.
