True as stated (i.e., "Christian modification"), but I'm not so sure that we
ought to think that Jewish translators have no interest in the LXX. Many LXX
scholars have been Jewish. I'd be curious to know if any of the Jewish
translations have *explicitly* drawn on LXX readings for specific passages.
(That's outside the area of my reading.)
