One can purchase the Barclay Newman Greek NT Dictionary either in a  
volume together with the UBS4 GNT or as a separate accompanying item,  
but to be perfectly honest, this dictionary is little more than a  
stop-gap glossary that GNT readers tend to search for a gloss to fit  
a text they're reading. It's not very precise at all; one would do  
far better even with something like the Langenscheidt's pocket  
Ancient Greek-English Lexicon
