NOTE: 9:26 uses qets but NOT in the phrase "eth qets" (time of the end)
Dan 9 does NOT contain "eth qets" -- supports PRET argument that Dan 9 is not eschatological

LXX Mappings
H4899 mashiach LXX translations:
G5547 Christos (anointed/Christ): 34 occurrences, PMI 9.06 -- DOMINANT translation
G2018 epiphero: 6 occ, PMI 8.04
G4991 soteria (salvation): 4 occ, PMI 4.57
G1138 Dabid (David): 10 occ, PMI 2.80
KEY: The LXX consistently translates mashiach as Christos, including in Dan 9:25-26 (Theodotion). This is significant: the LXX translators understood mashiach as "the anointed one" (Christos), the same word the NT uses for Jesus.
H2852 chathak LXX translation:
No LXX alignments found
NOTE: The LXX translation of Daniel is notoriously divergent from the MT. The Old Greek (OG) Daniel is so different that the church replaced it with Theodotion's translation. The absence of alignment data for this hapax is expected.
