Περιέχει τη περίληψηThe Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) digital library, long the definitive database for ancient Greek texts, is now available online (www.tlg.uci.edu). It is updated every quarter with new texts (not to mention the continual upgrading of the search engine itself) which is a vast improvement over the old CD-ROM format last released in February 2000 and for which no further updates are planned. Reports on searches, fonts, the "Canon of Greek Authors and Works", links to the Perseus Digital Library, software and connectivity, subscriptions and cost

Verbal systems can give prominence to tense, aspect, or mood. The morphology of the verbal system within biblical Greek provides important evidence to suggest that Greek is an aspect-prominent language, though one that also incorporates tense within the indicative mood. Certain traditional grammatical labels inappropriately treat Greek as though it were instead a tense-prominent language like English (e.g. the use of " present " or " tense formative " outside of the indicative mood). We need to reform our descriptive labels and general conception of Greek accordingly. In doing so, the simplicity and beauty of the Greek verbal system emerges, offering pedagogical advantages for teachers of Greek and challenging exegetes to properly account for Greek's particular configuration of tense, aspect, and mood.
