Dear Clay,

On the LXX reading STRATIA at Jer 7:18; 44:17-19, 25, you say:

LEH (1st ed) shows two conjectures:

stratia,-as+ *Jer 7:18 te stratia tou ouranou to the host of heaven ? cb) h#myM or
lmmlkt h#myM for MT lmlkt h#myM to the queen of heaven

But what is lmmlkt?

HH: That would be L ("to") plus MaMLaKah, "realm" or "kingdom" in a construct form.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
