The greek used in the new testament is koine greek, not attic greek. While the two are not very different, there are differences. So using the new testament as a source for ancient greek is troublesome at best.

And I also wonder whether anciant greek should be plased over modern greek simply on alphabetical principle, where the two still are written alike.


 * I think wiktionary's definition of "Ancient Greek" is any Greek before the development of the modern writing language[s]. We don't seem to have Mediaeval Greek. But the Koine is generally included in Ancient Greek anyway, as far as I know. -- And as to the second thing: we always follow strictly the alphabetical order, with the exception of "(modern) English", which is always first.
