Okay folks, let's get back on track.  This thread is hereby ended on 
b-hebrew.  Take any further discussion off-list where most of it has belonged 
for quite some time.

Thank you for your cooperation.

  However, we can notice that these Romance languages are spoken in what was 
  the Western part of the Empire (with the exception of Rumanian, that was 
the 
  result of the intense collonization that followed the conquest of Dacia by 
  Traianus). When two peoples get in contact, the language of the more 
  prestigious culture use to prevail. When the less "civilized" peoples of 
the 
  West were conquered by Rome, they didn't have a common advanced culture nor 
  a spread and widely known lingua franca, so the Roman culture and language 
  prevailed easily.
  But the situation in the East was very different. The former Hellenistic 
  kingdoms had a culture far more prestigious than the Roman one, and a very 
  prestigious and widespread language that easily prevailed. In fact, when 
the 
  Empire was divided, Greek was the official language of the Eastern Empire, 
  and so was during all the existence of the Byzantine Empire.
  It seems logicall that in times of Cicero, Greek was a foreign but very 
  prestigious language in Rome. However, Cicero himself, along with many 
  others in the next few years contributed largely to the prestige of Latin, 
  so I can't be sure of the situation into Rome. I guess that being a 
  cosmopolitan city, there could be a lot of people who didn't speak Latin. 
  And Greek could easily be a lingua franca for them. That could be the case 
  of the congregation in Rome in those early days, composed to a certain 
  extent of Jews and other inmigrants (Aquila and Prisca, for instance).
  Also, I also think that Greek would have been a better option than Latin 
for 
  the film "The Passion".

B-Haveray,  We have drifted far afield from the mission of b-hebrew.  Let's 
consider this thread ended.  Take further discussion off-list.

Thank you for your cooperation.

  I reject both your labels, as you seem to be applying them to me.  What
  you think of Pastor Harrell is between you and God.  My interest lies in
  the text of the Septuagint.
