Bob,
I simply used the graphic concordance of Charlesworth and looked under "stn"
I note that the english translation does not use "Satan" for any of the
references I proferred; does this suggest that Garcia-Martinez does not view
"stn" as a reference to "evil personified"? Or is it simply a translation
of the word instead of a transliteration?

Not that I have ever seen.
