Tetragrammaton in the LXX (Wiki)?
From my research notes (Wiki).
"Two of these are of the first century BCE: Papyrus Fouad 266 uses יהוה in the normal Hebrew alphabet in the midst of its Greek text, and 4Q120 uses the Greek transcription of the name, ΙΑΩ. Three later manuscripts use 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, the name יהוה in Paleo-Hebrew script: the Greek Minor Prophets Scroll from Nahal Hever, Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 3522 and Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 5101.
Manuscripts of the Septuagint and later Greek renderings.
The great majority of extant manuscripts of the Old Testament in Greek, complete or fragmentary, dated to the ninth century CE or earlier, employ Κύριος to represent the Tetragrammaton of the Hebrew text. The following do not. They include the oldest now extant.
I. Manuscripts of the Septuagint or recensions thereof:
• 1st century BCE
o 4QpapLXXLevb – fragments of the Book of Leviticus, chapters 1 to 5. In two verses: 3:12; 4:27 the Tetragrammaton of the Hebrew Bible is represented by Greek ΙΑΩ.
o Papyrus Fouad 266b (848) – fragments of Deuteronomy, chapters 10 to 33.[87] The Tetragrammaton appears in square Hebrew/Aramaic script. According to a disputed view, the first copyist left a blank space marked with a dot, and another inscribed the letters.
• 1st century CE
o Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 3522 – contains parts of two verses of chapter 42 of the Book of Job and has the Tetragrammaton in paleo-Hebrew letters.
o Greek Minor Prophets Scroll from Nahal Hever – in three fragments whose contents were published separately.
Se2grXII (LXXIEJ 12) has the Tetragrammaton in 1 place.
8HevXII a (LXXVTS 10a) in 24 places, in whole or part.
8HevXII b (LXXVTS 10b) in 4 places.
• 1st to 2nd century
o Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 5101 – contains fragments of the Book of Psalms. It has YHWH in Paleo-Hebrew script.[88][89][90]
• 3rd century CE
o Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1007 – contains Genesis 2 and 3. The divine name is written with a double yodh.
o Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 656 – fragments of the Book of Genesis, chapters 14 to 27. Has Κύριος where the first copyist left blank spaces
o Papyrus Berlin 17213 – fragments of the Book of Genesis, chapter 19. One space is left blank. Emanuel Tov thinks it indicated the end of a paragraph.[89] It has been dated to 3rd century CE."
