The Theodotionic Revision Of The Book Of Exodus: A Contribution To The Study Of The Early History Of The Transmission Of The Old Testament In Greek, Revised Edition (harvard Semitic Monographs)

Theodotion of Ephesus was a Gentile convert to Judaism who lived in the second century A.D. Traditionally, the hexaplaric readings marked with θ' (and hence coming from Origen's sixth column) have been attributed to an edition of the Greek Old Testament prepared by him sometime in the third quarter of the second century. While it was recognized that some parts of Theodotion's version antedated the second century, and hence Theodotion himself, it was generally felt that the work as a whole owed its existence and character to the second century proselyte.
