  Greek
     Found only in the New Testament, where a distinction is observed
     between "Greek" and "Grecian" (q.v.). The former is (1) a Greek
     by race (Acts 16:1-3; 18:17; Rom. 1:14), or (2) a Gentile as
     opposed to a Jew (Rom. 2:9, 10). The latter, meaning properly
     "one who speaks Greek," is a foreign Jew opposed to a home Jew
     who dwelt in Palestine.
     
       The word "Grecians" in Acts 11:20 should be "Greeks," denoting
     the heathen Greeks of that city, as rendered in the Revised
     Version according to the reading of the best manuscripts
     ("Hellenes").

  greek
       
          1.  To display text as abstract dots and lines
          in order to give a preview of layout without actually being
          legible.  This is faster than drawing the characters correctly
          which may require scaling or other transformations.  Greeking
          is particularly useful when displaying a reduced image of a
          document where the text would be too small to be legible on
          the display anyway.
