Cribbed from a Dove Booksellers mailing--looked like something some
B-GREEKers would want to be aware of...  Chh. 24-25 are on Greek; I wonder
if maybe Koine is treated as a dialect in ch. 25.

(The same Dove mailing advertises a Danker FS (titled Biblical Greek
Language and Lexicography). There's some description at

The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World's Ancient Languages is the first
comprehensive reference work treating all of the languages of antiquity.
Clear and systematic in its approach, the Encyclopedia combines full
linguistic coverage of all the well-documented ancient languages,
representing numerous language families from around the globe. Each chapter
focuses on an individual language or, in some instances, a set of closely
related varieties of a language. Providing a full descriptive presentation,
each of these chapters examines the writing system(s), phonology,
morphology, syntax and lexicon of that language, and places the language
within its proper linguistic and historical context. The Encyclopedia brings
together an international array of scholars, each a leading specialist in
ancient language study. While designed primarily for linguistic
professionals and students, this work is invaluable to all whose studies
take them into the realm of ancient language.
