Ross on syntax of year expressions in LXX Greek

WILLIAM A. ROSS: NEW PUBLICATIONS: PART 3.

Essentially, my essay is an investigation of how dates are phrased in Greek, specifically dates that state a year. For example:

ἐν ἔτει τριακοστῷ καὶ ἐνάτῳ Αζαρια βασιλεῖ Ιουδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Μαναημ
“In the thirty-ninth year of Azaria king of Iouda, Manaem also ruled” (2 Kgs 15:17)

The essay is technical, but open access.
