Here's a sample (using SIL Ezra and SIL Galatia):
More relevant to your initial statement, there is one place I would have wished the translators of LXX to violate the tzadi to sigma:
G301 - H531: ?wm' [Amotz] could be Amwz [Amoz] rather than Amwv [Amos], which collides with swm' [Amos] also becoming Amwv [Amos].
- G107 - H5809: rwzv [Azur] becomes Azwr [Azor] rather than Azour [Azur].
- G108 - H795: dwdH' [Ashdod] becomes Azwtov [Azotas] rather than Asdwd [Asdod].
