Ptolemy did not just translate the OT in order to be included in the already existing library, but he collected works from all over the world. And established the finest library in the world. That a Greek man translated the OT does not mean anything.
Ptolemy enacted what was initiated by Alexander, following his sudden death. A greek man did not translate the OT because they never spoke Hebrew; 70 Hebrew scholars who spoke both Hebrew and Greek [as did Josephus speak both languages] were contracted for this work. It took 70 years; Septuagint means BOOK OF THE 70.
If you have issues with facts that is your problem, not mine, I have already enlightened you and given sources with Greek epigraphies from the 18th CE. I gave you also from the 6th, I gave you sources about Greco-Roman law, I have given you the perseus database which contains Greek books digitized from the 8th and so on and forth.
You have already become tiring, so get over it.
Here then are your sources which I collected:

Remains Of Minoan-Style Painting Discovered During Excavations Of Canaanite Palace
ScienceDaily (Dec. 7, 2009) — Tel Kabri is the only site in Israel where wall paintings similar in style to those found in the Aegean 3,600 years ago have been found; researchers say this was a conscious decision made by the city rulers to lean toward Mediterranean culture.
This refers to a painting. Not applicable.

Dispilio Tablet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
The markings on the Dispilio tabletThe Dispilio Tablet (also known as the Dispilio Scripture or the Dispilio Disk) is a wooden tablet bearing inscribed markings (charagmata), unearthed during George Hourmouziadis's excavations of Dispilio in Greece and carbon 14-dated to about 7300 BP (5260 BC). It was discovered in 1993 in a Neolithic lakeshore settlement that occupied an artificial island[1] near the modern village of Dispilio on Lake Kastoria in Kastoria Prefecture, Greece.
You may not like to accept this, however I cannot accept what is termed as 5260 BC is bogus. This is just an attempt to promote Europe's world view; this needs follow up evidences of alphabetical books as an affirmation of assumptions on C14, which is not acceptable solely by itself. There is no need to go that far, I asked for an alphabetical book pre-320 BCE: where is it? Why don't you require this for your own satisfaction?

The Bible is not active in any judiciary system today neither in Europe(nor has it ever been in the official Roman Empire) nor in Israel. Greco-Roman law is.

Those are not laws the world follows; they were also illegitimate in Roman times. E.g. in your link:
Legislation about religionNumerous provisions served to secure the status of Christianity as the state religion of the empire, uniting Church and state, and making anyone who was not connected to the Christian church a non-citizen.
# This denies the seperation of state and religion; contrasdicting the Hebrew bible, which is accepted today in bona fide countries [USA, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, NZ, ETC].
Laws against heresy
The very first law in the Codex requires all persons under the jurisdiction of the Empire to hold the Christian faith. This was primarily aimed against heresies such as Nestorianism. This text later became the springboard for discussions of international law, especially the question of just what persons are under the jurisdiction of a given state or legal system.
# A heinous doctrine stemming from depraved Roman emperors like Caligula and Vespasian who proclaimed themselves divine, the Heresy premise requiring all people to worship his image. That is not a law!
Laws against paganism
Other laws, while not aimed at pagan belief as such, forbid particular pagan practices. For example, it is provided that all persons present at a pagan sacrifice may be indicted as if for murder.
# This is from the Hebrew laws, pre-fixed 'unto you' only. Namely, one from a different religion like Buddhism, which always practiced another way, were not liable to this law.
You will find the same throughout what you present as European law. The laws enshrined in Europe's judiciary today are Hebrew laws, such as:
NOT TO BEAR FALSE WITNESS [PERJURY]
NOT TO HEAR ONLY ONE PARTY'S STORY.
TWO INDEPENDENT WITNESSES FOR THE CHARGE OF MURDER.
NOT TO COVET [STALKING]
NOT TO DISMISS A WORKER EMPTY HANDED AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF WORK [RETIREMENT LAW]
ONE DAY A WEEK REST WITH PAY
AUTOMATIC FREEDOM FROM ALL DEBT AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD [STATUTORY LAW]
PAYMENT FOR ILL TREATMENT OF AN EMPLOYEE [COMPENSATION LAW]
NOT TO DESTROY A FOOD BEARING TREE [ENVIRONMENT LAW]
FORBIDDENCE OF HUMAN SACRIFICE
FORBIDDENCE OF ANIMAL SACRIFICE AS PAYMENT FOR WANTON CRIMES
NOT TO TAKE ESSENTIAL HOME UTENSILS, BLANKETS, BEDS, ETC FOR DEBTS [BANKRUPTSY LAWS]
A PLAINTIFF OR WITNESS MUST HAVE CLEAN HANDS [TRUSTWORTHY; NOT A CRIMINAL]
NOT TO JUDGE KINFOLK
TO ESTABLISH LAW COURTS AND JUDGES BEFORE SECURING WATER WELLS.
INCEST LAWS
ALL ANIMAL RIGHTS LAWS.
All of those examples are active today in Europe's courts.
[edit] DigestaMain article: Digest (Roman law)
The Digesta or Pandectae, completed in 533, is a collection of juristic writings, mostly dating back to the second and third centuries. Fragments were taken out of various legal treatises and opinions and inserted in the Digest. In their original context, the statements of the law contained in these fragments were just private opinions of legal scholars - although some juristic writings had been privileged by Theodosius II's Law of Citaions in 426. The Digest, however, was given complete force of law.
By the 2nd BCE, the Greeks had developed the most complex and advanced legal systems, had conquered your "majestic" laws as well and changed your own language and writing to Greek.
By the 2nd C BCE; by this time a host of Hebrew alphabetical books were already completed. This is also why you cannot produce a Greek alphabetical book pre-320 BCE; the date of the Septuagint and whereby Flavius Josephus, writing 2000 years ago, stated the Greeks got their alphabets from the Hebrew Alef Bet. Josephus was under Roman contract when this was written, and if it was not true the Greeks would have voiced an uproar! It should be understood that medevial Europe was doctrinally inclined in negating the Hebrew laws, which failed, despite this much misrepresentation of history has seeped into modern day encyclopedia. If one checks the sources they depend on at the bottom, they will find them less than satisfactory.
There are no laws from Europe, Rome or Greece - all of them are only contained in the Hebrew bible. Many laws [sub-laws] are derivites from the Hebrew. This may sound very haughty to the uninitiated, however it can be illustraterd very easily. Please show us a Roman law which is enshrined in Europe's judiciary system? You shouldhave many, seeing how you claim none come from the Hebrew bible. I can post the Hebrew laws, and I say you will not be able to negate a single one which is not accepted by the Judiciary in Euopre. Not a oner.

History
Main article: History of Greek
Greek has been spoken in the Balkan Peninsula since around the late 3rd millennium BC [7]. The earliest written evidence is found in the Linear B clay tablets in the "Room of the Chariot Tablets", an LMIII A-context (c. 1400 BC) region of Knossos, in Crete, making Greek one of the world's oldest recorded living languages. Among the Indo-European languages, its date of earliest written attestation is matched only by the now extinct Anatolian languages.
The later Greek alphabet is derived from the Phoenician alphabet (abjad); with minor modifications, it is still used today.

Also, you need to be made aware of something else as well, Constantine the Great, who made Christianity official religion and his Minister(Eusebius), clarified as about who are the Christians, and the Christians were not Jews, in Eusebius's work, Preparation for the Gospel he answers the question in the 4th CE:
Eusebius the Minister of Constantine in Preparation for the Gospel wrote:
To those who inquire who we Christians are and where we come from"..."We [Christians] are Greeks in blood and Greeks in conviction
That is incorrect. Christianity is a monothestic system of belief, while Greece was steeped in a vile form of polytheism. Europe discared the Greek/Roman beliefs and opted for the Hebrew bible, which it calls the OT. What you refer to is a cultural and traditional retention, which is not denied.
