In a letter to John Adams, dated from Monticello October 12, 1813, Jefferson quotes Sternhold’s version of Psalm XVIII, verses
9 and 10, and adds: “
the Latin versions of this passage by Buchanan & by Johnston are but mediocres. but the Greek of Duport is worthy of quotation.”
The four lines of Greek then quoted by him are not taken from this version by Duport.
The lines of Greek quoted by Jefferson are taken from the edition of the Psalms by Duport and Buchanan, London 1742; see no. 4399.
