Morphe in the Septuagint (LXX)

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ζεβεε καὶ Σαλμανα ποῦ οἱ ἄνδρες οὓς ἀπεκτείνατε ἐν Θαβωρ καὶ εἶπαν ὡσεὶ σύ ὅμοιος σοί ὅμοιος αὐτῶν ὡς εἶδος μορφὴ υἱῶν βασιλέων. (Judges 8:18)

ἀνέστην καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνων εἶδον καὶ οὐκ ἦν μορφὴ πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου ἀλλ᾽ ἢ αὔραν καὶ φωνὴν ἤκουον (Job 4:16)

τέκτων ξύλον ἔστησεν αὐτὸ ἐν μέτρῳ καὶ ἐν κόλλῃ ἐρρύθμισεν αὐτό ἐποίησεν αὐτὸ ὡς μορφὴν ἀνδρὸς καὶ ὡς ὡραιότητα ἀνθρώπου στῆσαι αὐτὸ ἐν οἴκῳ (Isaiah 44:13)

τότε Ναβουχοδονοσορ ἐπλήσθη θυµοῦ, καὶ ἡ µορφὴ τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ ἠãοιώθη, καὶ ἐπέταξε καῆναι

τὴν κάµινον ἑπταπλασίως παρ’ ὃ ἔδει αὐτὴν καῆναι·  (Daniel 3:19 Rahlfs)

Aquila includes morphe in Isaiah 52:14. Compare Tobit 1:13.

C.H. Talbert writes: "It is perhaps significant that Aquila reads μορφή in Isa 52 14 (Hatch and Redpath, 11, p. 934)."
