Did you ever read a book and encounter the term "indexes"? The plural of
"index" is "indices." Of course it's possible. Did you ever notice the
variant forms that appear for various words in a lexicon? Here is an entry
from the "middle Liddell"
A-BEBAIOS, ON, uncertain, unsteady; TO ABEBAION = ABEBAIOTHS, Luc.
Apparently Lucian used a different form.
Even books which are edited and proofread have errors. Why shouldn't Greek
handwriten documents? Wat does ya thimk - that they ain't gonna make no errs?
