Thanks for the input but I think OLAM and AIWNOS both mean a period of time, an eon.
For Ancient of days it says PALAIOS hHMERWN in the LXX.
The implication that they might have used other words to say something if they had had the beliefs of later times
is a bit circular. The beliefs of later times were meant to be based upon what they had written.
This is something that I appreciate with B-Greek - I want to know what they wrote and just what it meant their
readers.
One of my first observations when I started to learn Greek was that the translators had
ample scope for their preconceptions. The choice use of capitals is an example - have read a discourse on
the difference between spirit and Spirit but I suppose his aurthority was the KJV because I fail to see where he got it from the unicals.
And I thought the Pilgrim Fathers were trying to get away from the likes of King James.
