Phil,

Among B-Greek subscribers there are some LXX experts who may provide you
with a great deal of information on this topic.  I'll just mention that you
can find some discussion of it in Sidney Jellicoe, "The Septuagint and
Modern Study" (Oxford University Press, 1968; also reprint editions).  Start
with the references in the index to "Tetragrammaton" and "Divine Name(s)".

   1. Is it possible that the Septuagint translated the Qeri of the Hebrew
Text rather than the Sacred Name?  This would account for KYRIOS as a
translation of ADONAI and thus "LORD"?
   2. There are contexts in the Greek Sept. where an attempt was made to
transliterate the Sacred Name. Can anyone tell me (A) How many contexts
there are? (B) Where they are located? (C) Any kind of an Internet or
Journal article that will answer these questions?
  What kind of a tool would answer these questions?  Add anything relevant
OK!
                             Thanks, Phil L. Risinger
