Secunda (Hexapla)
The Secunda is the second column of Origen's Hexapla, a compilation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek versions. It consists of a transliteration of the Hebrew text of the Hebrew Bible into Greek characters. As such it serves as an important document for Hebrew philology, in particular the study of Biblical Hebrew phonology. Authorship There is contention as to whether the Secunda was written by Origen, a contemporary, or was a copy of a preexisting older text. Some suppose that Origen wrote the text himself, perhaps with Jewish helpers. Others suppose that the Secunda was a preexisting text, added into the Hexapla as an aid for the reader. There is evidence that Jews of the time made use of transcriptions; for instance a passage in the Jerusalem Talmud describing how the Jews of Caesarea would misread the tetragrammaton as the graphically similar , suggesting the use of transcribed texts with the tetragrammaton preserved in Hebrew characters. There is also phonetic evidence for the S ...

Secunda, South Africa
Secunda (from Latin: second, secund, secundi meaning second/following) is a town built amidst the coalfields of the Mpumalanga province of South Africa.

After the site for the Sasol complex had been identified, it had to be decided whether or not to combine the existing towns of Evander and Trichardt. The huge burden that extensions of this nature would have had on the financial and administrative resources of the established communities as well as the tempo at which such development should proceed was decisive and resulted in the decision to develop Trichardt and Secunda to be one town, named Secunda. Evander however stayed a separate town. On 28 June 1976, the first town area was proclaimed. 1976 saw th ...
