[sword-devel] Is the LXX module stored in modern Greek?

[pierre amadio]

Hello.

I can not tell whether θλίψεως is modern or koine Greek, but it
appears in the paper edition "Septuaginta, a reader's edition" from
Gregory R. Lanier and William A.Ross too, so I guess it is correct.

(It would be possible to create another module with the Koine Greek wordings.) I think the same is true for the LXX module. Can someone please confirm this?
