The Syro hexaplar version also Syro hexapla is the Syriac language Syriac translation of the Septuagint , as revised by Origen of Alexandria in his Hexapla . This version is important for the study of the Septuagint, for it often includes the symbols Origen used to mark the differences he observed between the Septuagint text and the Hebrew language Hebrew text. Being a direct version from the Koine Greek Greek into Syriac, it must be distinguished from the Peshitta , which is a Syriac translation directly from the Hebrew.

Image Armbible.jpg thumb 200px right Armenian Bible 1666 The Armenian Bible is due to Saint Mesrob s early 5th century translation. The first monument of Armenian literature is the version of the Holy Scriptures. Isaac, says Moses of Chorene, made a translation of the Bible from the Syriac text about 411. This work must have been considered imperfect, for soon afterwards John of Egheghiatz and Joseph of Baghin were sent to Edessa to translate the Scriptures. They journeyed as far as Constantinople, and brought back with them authentic copies of the Greek text. With the help of other copies obtained from Alexandria the Bible was translated again from the Greek according to the text of the Septuagint and Origen s Hexapla . This version, now in use in the Armenian Church, was completed about 434. The first sentence in Armenian written down by St. Mesrop after he invented the letters is said to be the opening line of Solomon s Book of Proverbs Cquote lang hy wikt , , br ana el zimastut iwn ew zxrat, imanal zbans han aroy. br To know wisdom and instruction to perceive the words of understanding.

otheruses polyglot disambiguation A polyglot also spelled polyglott is a book that contains Parallel text side by side versions of the same text in several different languages. Some editions of the Bible or its parts are polyglots, in which the Hebrew language Hebrew and Greek language Greek originals are exhibited along with historical translations. Polyglots are useful for studying the history of the text and its interpretation. Origen s Hexapla The first enterprise of this kind is the famous Hexapla of Origen of Alexandria , in which the Old Testament Scriptures were written in six parallel columns, the first containing the Hebrew language Hebrew text, the second a transliteration of this in Greek language Greek letters, the third and fourth the Greek translations by Aquila of Sinope and by Symmachus the Ebionite , the fifth the Septuagint version as revised by Origen, and the sixth the translation by Theodotion . However, as only two languages, Hebrew and Greek, were employed, the work should perhaps be called a diglott rather than a polyglot in the usual sense. Printed Polyglots After the invention of printing and the revival of Philology philological studies, polyglots became a favourite means of advancing the knowledge of Middle Eastern languages, for which no good references were available, as well as for the study of Scripture .

Unreferenced date July 2009 Image obelos.png thumb Three basic variants of dotted obelos glyphs. Obelism is the practice of annotating manuscript s with marks set in the margins. Modern obelisms are used by editors when blue penciling a manuscript or typescript. Examples are stet which is Latin for Let it stand, used in this context to mean disregard the previous mark and dele for Delete . The obelos symbol gets its name from the spit, or sharp end of a lance in ancient Greek . An obelos was placed by editors on the margins of manuscripts, especially in Homer , to indicate lines that were doubtfully Homer s. The system was developed by Aristarchus of Samothrace Aristarchus and notably used later by Origen in his Hexapla . Origen marked spurious words between obelos and metobelos. There were many other such shorthand symbols, to indicate corrections, emendations, deletions, additions, and so on. Most used are the editorial Coronis textual symbol coronis , the paragraphos , the forked paragraphos, the reversed forked paragraphos, the hypodiastole , the downwards ancora , the upwards ancora , and the Diple textual symbol dotted right pointing angle , which is also known as the diple periestigmene.

Alignments of parallel corpora at sentence level are prerequisite for many areas of linguistics linguistic research. During translation, sentences can be split, merged, deleted, inserted or reordered by the translator. This makes alignment a non trivial task. Bitext main Bitext word alignment In the field of translation studies a bitext is a merged document composed of both source and target language versions of a given text. Bitexts are generated by a piece of software called an alignment tool , or a bitext tool , which automatically aligns the original and translated versions of the same text. The tool generally matches these two texts sentence by sentence. A collection of bitexts is called a bitext database or a bilingual corpus , and can be consulted with a search tool. Bitexts and translation memories The concept of the bitext shows certain similarities with that of the translation memory . Generally, the most salient difference between a bitext and a translation memory is that a translation memory is a database in which its segments matched sentences are stored in a way that is totally unrelated to their original context the original sentence order is lost. A bitext retains the original sentence order. However, some implementations of translation memory, such as ... more details

The syntactical form of the Hebrew phrase appears to be lacking a verb, and this is supplied in the Aramaic targum which reads they bite like a lion my hands and my feet . The Septuagint has they have dug pierced my hands and feet , evidently taking the Hebrew to be based on the root , supported by the The Dead sea scrolls Dead Sea Scrolls , Hahal Hever 5 6Hev1b f8 9 12 . Dig has been understood in the sense of pierced as in Psalm 40 7 6 , hence the rendering in the Peshitta Syriac they have pierced my hands and feet . Aquila of Sinope Aquila , a convert to Judaism, undertook two translations of the Psalms from Hebrew to Greek. In the first, he renders the verse they disfigured my hands and feet in the second he revised this to they have bound my hands and feet .
