May 9, 2024 at 15:34	comment	added	Dan Fefferman		Many translators render the term τὰ βιβλία as "scrolls" or "papyrus rolls". This would explain why they are distinguished from "parchments." Books as we think of the term had not been invented yet. This doesn't help with the main question, except perhaps to make Brickle's hypothesis a bit less likely.
