Dear Jeffrey,

Thank you responding.

The translator is Ivan Panin (ex Harvard) "Numeric Greek New Testament" (1934)

I have undertaken a research project on his hypothesis. My enquiry relates to the fact that he consistently uses the form aleeis as against alieis for "fisher (s)". (not a typographical error)

My enquiry is therefore grammatical. Why would a competent scholar use this form?

The numeric values of the words (both form & lexical), naturally, are affected by replacing an iota with an epsilon.  

Sincerely,

John Gale

One translation renders it as aleeiß Is there grammatical or linguistic support for this? 

I believe, if I understand you correctly, that you are asking a text critical question and nor a grammatical one.

Could you please give us a context for the text you have problems with?  Who is the "translator" (do you mean scribe) you speak of, and what does this person actually say?

Yours,

Jeffrey Gibson
