[B-Greek] untranslated Greek text of commentaries

Hello John,

There's no "easy" answer to this, because many works have been
translated by many different authors for many different series or
collections of the church fathers. There's no one "blanket" answer for
all ancient commentaries on the Bible.

You may want to use the bibliographies given in a "Patrology" (an
introduction to the various writings of the church fathers) to hunt down
modern translations.

See Quasten's "Patrology"; Claudio Moreschini's & Enrico Norelli's "
Early Christian Greek & Latin Literature: A Literary History" (2 vols);
see also the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture series published
by IVP. The ACCS has translations of snippets from many Greek
commentaries that are not translated into English anywhere else. It's a
bit annoying to have a "teaser" of a quote without the whole context of
a Father's argument included!

Are there any available Greek texts online of Bible commentaries from
Early Church Fathers or other ancient writers that have not been
translated or are hard to get?  
 
Thank you!
