 The argument also, which is founded on the Greek method 

 of writing Hebrew words, and which has been adduced in sup- 

 port of the Erasmian pronunciation of Betuj is, in truth, against

 that the Greeks used their /3 to represent not only the Hebrew 

 D (both without the Dagesh and with it) but also tlie Hebrew i ; 

 as in "l*n AotQi^, Dn"i5N 'AC^ctay,, etc. instances of which may i 

 be found in every page of the Septuagint.
