An Analysis of the Revisional Process and Its Semitic Source
Author:
This study advances our knowledge regarding the character of the version of Daniel attributed to Theodotion within the larger framework of the Theodotionic problem in Septuagint research. This is achieved in two ways. In addition to demonstrating the recensional character of Theodotion-Daniel and describing its revising techniques, it also breaks new ground on Theodotion’s Hebrew-Aramaic source. The findings compellingly argue for the theory that Theodotion-Daniel is a systematic revision of the Old Greek in conformity with a Semitic text form which often preserved original readings against the Masoretic Text and the Qumran scrolls.

Abstract
This study acknowledges the pivotal role that the criterion of common basis plays for both the adherents and the critics of the theory that Th-Dan is a revision. In order to diminish the force and number of the distinctive agreements that affirm the common basis in the Greek versions of Daniel, critics often cast suspicion on their relevance by either underscoring the corrupt character of OG-Dan in comparison with readings from Th-Dan or by assessing them as questionable, with the direction of dependence unclear. At variance with such methodological strategies, this study expands the stock of significant agreements by adducing ten examples that are free of textual corruption and unequivocally represent borrowing of Th-Dan from OG-Dan.
