Hmmm, that is not something that I want to happen to you. One test would suffice. Everyone seems to believe that the greek was the original so let's do the test to see if a code structure presents itself.
After that I would refuse any other tests only because secondary langauges, even translations of the third type, would show less and less probablity, at least that would seem to make sense.
