You can't produce a legitimate Greek language Bible written before the year 700 A.D. if doing so made you the emperor of the whole planet.The OT was written in Hebrew and Aramaic and translated into Greek, the Septuagint, BCE complete with an Apocrypha. The NT was written in mostly KoinE Greek in the mid to late first century. As far as 700 AD, we have some earlier manuscripts copies of some books and partials since the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. However, all Greek was the Codex Vaticanus which is paleographically dated to the fourth century.
Despite the claim that there's such a thing as Koine Greek no one has been able to produce such a Greek alphabet. Can you do it? And there was no comprehensive Bible until around 690 A.D. BTW, the Apocrypha was included from the start and was in almost every version. Do you know when someone got a bug up his butt and deleted it? I'll tell you if you want to know.
