In regard to the Pietersma paper on "The Interlinear Model for the Study of
the Septuagint," I did not understand the use of the term "interlinear
model."

Does that term suggest that the earliest extent copies of the Septuagint are
in an interlinear format: namely, Greek and Hebrew?

Sincerely,  Ernest Blum
