 Hi Barry,

I have this text marked on my wish list. I think a list member
mentioned it some little while ago and since then it's been on my
radar. Could you tell us a little more of the flaws you refer to?

 Fairly often llist folk ask for Greek texts outside of the the NT and

 related literature which can help them "grow" their Greek skills. I
am 
 using as an intermediate text this year Hayes and Nimis's *Lucian's A
True 
 Story." Greek text, from the Loeb edition, running vocabulary,
commentary 
 (mostly grammatical, and aimed toward the student), general glossary
and 
 glossary of verbs with weird principal parts. Not only is it a fun
read in 
 it's own right (It is considered the first "science fiction" story,
it makes 
 fun of lots of classical figures, et al.), but the narrative is 
 straightforward and you'll see some common NT vocabulary in different

 contexts. I'm just starting it with my students now, and heavy use 
 sometimes reveals flaws, but overall this seems just what the Greek
doc 
 ordered for a good workout.
