(i) I am of opinion, that one cannot absolutely deny, that there was a Greek Version of the Books of the Bible made in the time of Ptolomy Philadel∣phus.] It is not credible, that the Authors of the Books attributed to Aristeas and Aristobulus en∣tirely invented the whole History, and that there is no part of it true. 'Tis sar more probable, that they only added several Circumstances to the Mat∣ter of Fact, which was assuredly certain. Mr. Si∣mon imagines, that this Version was called the Septuagint, beause it was approved by the Sane∣drim, but this is a Conjecture without any Foundation.
