As George indicated, over 90% of the instances of words in the hAGI- group translate a word from the Hebrew QD$ root.
The exceptions (about 56) are isolated (occurring once or twice), except for
NZR in Lev 25:5; 21:12; Judg 13:7; 16:17; Amos 2:11; Zech 7:3; 9:16; Ps 89:40; 132:18

I'm afraid there are 533 verses containing ἅγιος [hAGIOS] and 658 instances of the word in the LXX. I therefore haven't checked each instance though I did check a number finding that the word is used fairly consistently to translate a form of קדש [QD$].

Andrew,
If you have access to Hatch and Redpath's Concordance, the edition from Baker Academic, there is a Hebrew/Aramaic to Greek index that was compiled by Muraoka. Otherwise, you could consult TDNT, the appropriate volume.
But, perhaps George will give you a list that he compiled via computer :)
HTH,
James

Greetings.
Can anyone help me with finding out what etymologies people have
proposed for αγια/agia?
At risk of digression from Greek, I'd also like to find information on
the Hebrew word or words that have been translated as αγια.
Peace,
Andrew
