If I scan it, I wonder if this board will accept it. I don't know how to type the Greek characters on my computer. Do you give out your e:mail address? I wonder if a Google search might give you what you want.

The sequence is different but perhaps Aaron can unscramble it. I see a couple of differences between Koine Greek and modern Greek. The "v" equivalent... what is that called? In Koine, the omicron is short "o" and the omega is long "o". I don't know anything about modern Greek. I understand that the pronounciations are different. My hopes were dashed to pieces one time when I tried Greek language records and my ears couldn't pick anything up.

Here are a couple of good lists:

http://www.ibiblio.org/koine/greek/lessons/alphabet.html

http://www.omniglot.com/writing/greek.htm

The numbers, you will have to get from my list above, or do a Google search.

The Koine Greek is the N.T. Greek. Koine (koi-nay) meaning "common". It is even different from Classical and Modern Greek.
