septuaginta
  11

Greek version of the Tanakh or Old Testament possibly collected in the time of Ptolemy II Philadelphus. The word septuaginta ("seventy") comes from Latin, and is the name that was later given to this version that in Greek would be 949; 946; 948; 959; 956; 951; 954; 959; 957; 964; 945; (hebdomeekonta), by the myth that it was translated from Hebrew by 72 wise men sent to Alexandria from Jerusalem. That is why it is also called "version of the seventies" or simply "LXX".
