While I never did more that make a few visits to determine what was available, I am sorry to see that those who have found it useful will no longer have it as a resource. I, of course, have other resources through my Logos software. The one thing that I might have used like everyone else is the transliteration, but I always did my own transliteration although it is in a (very slightly) idiosyncratic form. RIP zhubert.com.

See the announcement on the "Biblical Studies and Technological Tools"

and the briefer note at the zhubert.com site itself:

This is a big blow to many a student of Biblical texts in the original
languages. For B-Greekers, a secondary (tertiary?) inconvenience is
that one could always go there for a quick recoding of a Biblical
Greek text in the standard B-Greek transliteration scheme. That too is
lost. Evidently the fundamental problem is that the text employed as
provided by James Tauber's MorphGNT is under copyright. Without that
text the whole functionality of the site collapses.
As Robert El Lee is reported to have muttered repeaedly while
withdrawing from the battle site at Gettysburg, "Too bad! Too bad! ...
" Not that I wish the battle had turned out otherwise, but Lee's sense
of the magnitude of the loss of that battle can be appreciated by
those who will miss the zhubert.com site.
