Jewish Koine Greek
VARIETY OF GREEK FOUND IN HELLENISTIC JEWISH TEXTS
Greek of the Septuagint; Language of the Septuagint; Jewish Koiné Greek
Jewish Koine Greek, or Jewish Hellenistic Greek, is the variety of Koine Greek or "common Attic" found in a number of Alexandrian dialect texts of Hellenistic Judaism, most notably in the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Bible and associated literature, as well as in Greek Jewish texts from Palestine. The term is largely equivalent with Greek of the Septuagint as a cultural and literary rather than a linguistic category.
