(gcide) | Septuagint \Sep"tu*a*gint\, n. [From L. septuaginta seventy.]
A Greek version of the Old Testament; -- so called because it
was believed to be the work of seventy (or rather of
seventy-two) translators.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The causes which produced it [the Septuagint], the
number and names of the translators, the times at which
different portions were translated, are all uncertain.
The only point in which all agree is that Alexandria
was the birthplace of the version. On one other point
there is a near agreement, namely, as to time, that the
version was made, or at least commenced, in the time of
the early Ptolemies, in the first half of the third
century b.c. --Dr. W. Smith (Bib. Dict.)
[1913 Webster]
