Good point. However, these other authors are commonly believed to depend on the quote from Papias for their statements. In other words, Papias said it, and they believed it with no proof (Hebrew mss, etc.).

On the other hand, if you are asking whether or not the LXX quotes in the NT should be considered by us to be inspired, my answer is "Yes." -

At the end of the semester, right now I am having my Greek 102 students translate 1 John in committees, to give the feeling of a translation work on a mission field. No two committees come up with the same rendering of the same verse. On Tues/Thurs I teach a seminary class on "Bible Translation Theory and Practice." I've given them various homework assignments to correct various English translations. Again, the students do not come up with the same renderings of the same passages. So it would be very strange for a NT author to translate from the Hebrew Vorlage and come up with exactly the same rendering as the LXX. -

Concerning the Latin Vulgate, only Catholics claim inspiration for it, and I'm certainly not a Catholic. ;) -

How in the world you got that I believe the LXX itself is inspired is completely beyond me. :confused: -

If the New Testament quotes of the LXX are not inspired, what other parts of the New Testament are not inspired? After all, the language changed after the Babylonian Captivity. It went from Proto-Hebrew in the Pentateuch to Hebrew in the Poetic Books to Aramaic written with Hebrew orthography during the earthy ministry of Christ.
So which one is inspired and which one is not inspired? And how do we know? -

Should translators correct OT Scriptures from NT writing?Rob
It's been done in a few translations :Cautious -
We have to say the original languages, what ever they are, are the only inspired scriptures.
Quoting a translation in scripture is the problem, Is the NT quote inspired, or as is suggested only the original scripture referenced by the quote -
