You cannot be serious.
>From the preface of "A Greek English Lexicon of the Septuagint" by Lust
et al.:
"Since its appearance many new papyri have been found, the vocabulary of
which sheds a new light on several terms of the Septuagint, and numerous
lexicographic studies have been published which have refined our
knowledge of biblical and Koine Greek."

On what is "LXX lexicography" based, if not (to a large extent) on the
papyri? This is so obvious that I still think you must mean something
else.
