Stephen, 

DSSR 3 in the relevant place has a footnote saying "E. Eshel and H. Eshel, DSD 
11 (2004), forthcoming".

Esti and Hanan Eshel confirmed that the publication is actually scheduled to 
come out in Dead Sea Discoveries, but in 2005, not 2004.

DSSR 6, apart from "Historical Texts and Tales", "Apocalyptic Texts", 
"Eschatological Texts", "Magic and Divination", "Documentary Texts" and 
"Miscellanea" also has som 80 pages of "Unclassified Manuscripts with Specific 
Names", but no pesher material, as far as I can see. The volume retains in its 
"General Introduction" the note that occurs in previous volumes too, stating 
about DJD V that "it is envisaged to include the revised editions (from the 
planned revision of the complete volume, DJD Va) in the final volume", which of 
course is a bit funny, as this itself IS the final DSSR volume. M. Bernsteins 
(preliminary) revised edition of 4Q179 is in fact included in DSSR 5, but as 
for the rest of 4Q159-186, the edition retains the text of DJD V, but the 
translations have been revised/updated by Wise/Abegg/Cook and/or N. Gordon.

But as I mentioned, a somewhat revised 1 or 2 vol edition is presumably 
foreseen, which I guess will have the revised DJD V texts. But I assume Brill 
will want the first one sold before they put the second one out :-)

... hope I didn't make this even more complicated than it actually is :-))

shabbat shalom / have a nice weekend
