This theory rests heavily on the idea that the concept of TSBP dates to the
rabbinic period, and thus these western Jews, who knew Greek but little
Hebrew, only knew of the Septuagint -- Tzeduqi style. I wouldn't buy into it.>>

No it only assume that TSBP was mainly known in EY and Bavel not
that it didnt exist.
The general consensus is that Philo only knew the Septuagint and did
not know or had minimal knowledge of Hebrew.
