Dear Thomas,
Similarly in Pap. Chester Beatty XIII (Rahlfs 2149) e.g. fol. 4verso
line 20 and fol. 7recto line 4. The first one Ps 77:48 [K]AI PAREDOKEN
IS XALAZAN, and the second one Ps 83:8 EG DUNAMEWS IS DUNAMEIN. There
may well be more, since the phenomenon EI>I occurs 113x in this fourth
century papyrus.
See Albert Pietersma, Two Manuscripts of the Greek Psalter in the
Chester Beatty Library Dublin. AnBib77; Rome: Biblical Institute
Press, 1978 (with facsimiles) pp. 23 and 30).
