This volume is the first in the series to present a long Greek text
(large sections of the Minor Prophets). The version in the scroll
represents an early revision of the Septuagint towards a closer
correspondence with the Hebrew text of the Bible - the revision
given the name kaige by D. Barthelemy ('Les devanciers d'Aquila',
SVT 10, 1963). After an extensive introduction (which includes a
description of the materials by R. A. Kraft, and of the script by
Peter J. Parsons) the volume contains an edition of the text, both
with and without reconstructions, notes on the palaeography and
reconstructions, an extensive commentary on the translation
technique, orthographic peculiarities and textual relations, and is
supplemented by an index of all words, as well as twenty plates
(containing fragments arranged so as to present their position in
the original scroll).
