                      Rolf,
 
 
 Thanks for your input. I found this list of early writers, and their understanding of the name from the Greek.  
 
 
 
   Diodorus Siculus writes Jao  (I, 94);   
  
   Origin ("in Joh.", II,  1, in P.G., XIV, col. 105), Jao;   
  
   the Valentinian heretics (Ir.,  "Adv. Haer.", I, iv, 1, in P.G., VII, col. 481), Jao;   
  
   Irenaeus ("Adv. Haer.",  II, xxxv, 3, in P. G., VII, col. 840), Jaoth;   
  
   Clement of Alexandria ("Strom.",  V, 6, in P.G., IX, col. 60), Jaou;   
  
   Epiphanius ("Adv. Haer.",  I, iii, 40, in P.G., XLI, col. 685), Ja or Jabe;   
  
   the Samaritans (Theodoret, in "Ex.  quaest.", xv, in P. G., LXXX, col. 244), Jabe;
  
   Pseudo-Jerome ("Breviarium in  Pss.", in P.L., XXVI, 828), Jaho;   
  
   James of Edessa (cf.. Lamy, "La  science catholique", 1891, p. 196), Jehjeh;   
  
   Porphyry (Eus., "Praep.  evang", I, ix, in P.G., XXI, col. 72), Jeuo;   
  
        Jerome  ("Ep. xxv ad Marcell.", in P. L., XXII, col. 429) speaks  of certain ignorant Greek  writers who transcribed the Hebrew Divine name II I II I.
     
  
   It appears that their renderings vary a bit according to the above list. Do you have any understanding of why this might be?
 
 
 Thanks,
  Gene
