I hope this is an intelligible question.  Looking at these two  
passages in the LXX I found that the Hebrew - SAR-SHALOM- ( not sure  
how to transliterate that ) - Prince of Peace- in Isaiah 9:6 (5) is  
not translated.  I am puzzled by that - any answers?? Also, in Daniel  
9:25 the Hebrew - MESIACH-NAGID - The LXX -Dan.TH has only XRISTOU  
AND Dan.OG does not have that part  of the verse. What is an  
explanation for that?

For any of you who are much better at Hebrew than myself another  
question: Is there any real difference between the two Hebrew words  
for "prince" - SAR and NAGIB.  My only resource is Brown-Driver and  
Briggs.  Their listings for each word seem to have a lot of overlap.  
I initially was looking at both passages to see how the LXX  
translated each Hebrew word and found that in both passages the terms  
are left out.  I hope these are not ignorant questions!
