I'm pretty sure that "ἐξ ὑγροῦ", "from water", is supposed to be "ἐξ ὑγροῦ
δισκοῦ", "from pliant disk".

"Ἔκδοσις", "Edition", would be better than "Ἑρμηνεία", "Explanation".

Proper names like "Gecko" are generally left untranslated. Actually, I'm
amazed to learn that there's a specific word for this in Ancient Greek.

"Γόης" might be better here, since it doesn't have the secondary meaning of
"Poisoner".

Shouldn't these phrases use the infinitives πειρᾶι and γένναι?

Why ἐν and not πρὸς?

Seems like κατάστημα would be a better fit.

Overall, this looks pretty good! I expect to see some Hebrew next year ;-)
