Oh, I see.  But there is a problem in that some of the lines are as follows:

  003 apo twn presbuterwn kai arcierewn kai grammatewn
  002 umwn merimnwn dunatai prosqeinai epi thn hlikian
  002 umin anasthsei kurioj o qeoj umwn ek twn adelfwn

with an unknown number of spaces.   Sorry, this is my fault for not 
noticing that all the sample data I originally gave contained a number and 
two words, and therefore was not representative of all the data.
