Apparently Jim West's report from the Nashville meeting of SBL yesterday
morning escaped some eyes; the relevant paragraph, the added emphasis being
mine:

So not only have we reason to expect "deliverance" of the new BDAG, we have
also to look forward to a full-color image of JW dancing on his rooftop and
heralding the event in song:"KAQWS PALAI TOIS POIMESIN HiSAN hOI AGGELOI,
'DOXA EN hUYISTOIS QEWi KAI EPI GHS TO PALAI ELPIZOMENON LEXIKON TO BDAG
ANQRWPOIS EUDOKIAS. NAI, KURIE, DOXAZOMEN SE MEGALWS, ESTIN GAR PISTIS
ELPIZOMENWN hUPOSTASIS, PRAGMATWN ELEGCOS OU BLEPOMENWN" -- it seems
appropriate to me to supply the lyrics thus and leave to him the selection
of an appropriate fanfare and melody.
