<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 7844894, member: 72790&quot;]Like you I studied only Attic Greek at the university level and a bit of Koine Greek in the seminary. But if I recall correctly, Syracuse was a settlement of Dorian Greeks from the Peloponnesus who be speaking the Dorian dialect which we never studied. Dorians were not known for any great literary achievements, being rather laconic in their language, so almost everything we studied, down to about Xenophon, was Attic. The Greek found on the coinage of the post Alexander period is different enough from Attic to raise eyebrows among the cognoscenti but the Greek of Roman provincial coinage of the early AD period would have caused our professors to auto&nbsp; immolate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
