SUGGESTION: Expand Ancient grammars dataset to include Arabic

See The Bible in Arabic: The Scriptures of the "People of the Book" in the Language of Islam (Jews, Christians, and Muslims from the Ancient to the Modern World, 48) by Sidney H. Griffith (Author) or any of a myriad of other resources to see that Arabic translations should, like Gothic, be treated as ancient texts and hence grammars.

Perhaps I’ve missed your point, but isn’t Quranic Arabic not very different from modern Arabic? Or at least that’s what my (perhaps flawed) research told me.

Isn't that true of all the languages included in the Ancient Languages Grammar's Cross-reference dataset? I'd also like to see the Armenian, Georgian, Coptic and Ge'ez but Arabic was what was most likely to catch other users' attention because of books such as The Bible in Arabic.
