You are right, George. Thank you. I had scanned and OCR'd Alford,
and had to type in letters for the Grk parts. I mis-read Theon as
Theou. (I'm not trained in Grk., as I suppose is obvious)
I also had a problem that ur post didn't wordwrap on my reader
program.
BTW, wonder if anyone knows of an affordable OCR software that will
handle Grk?
Appreciate ur patience and very interesting reply.
Bob
