What? You don't think Hebrews is light? If you could just get Cindy
Westfall to give you her dissertation in draft form then perhaps you
could make easy going of it. Perhaps you already have this?
Perhaps the Hymn to ISIS is too light and too short but it is
helenistic. I found it amusing for the first several lines and then it
became rather dull. Will not take up much time anyway. It is in a book
called Helenistic Greek Texts, Allen Wikgren, U of Chicago 1947.
A lot of this book is NT and LXX so don't buy it. Get it through ILL or
steal it. I got my used for 1.95 which was a fair price.
