Reading through Metzger's biography I came across the following:

It is an inscription in the courtyard of Hagia Sophia:

NIYONANOMHMAMHMONANOYIN

NIYON ANOMHMA MH MONAN OYIN
"Wash your sin not only your face."

Metzger also notes a comment from James E. Frame,
"that if a student wished to understand the thought of NT writers, and had
to choose between studying either Greek or Hebrew, a case could be made for
choosing Hebrew."

He also notes:
"If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence
to convict you?"

The book:
Bruce M. Metzger
"Reminescences of an Octogenarian"
Hendrickson 1997

Best wishes
