Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update is based on version 4 of Dimitrios Filippou's
hyphenation patterns for ancient Greek. Since those
patterns are now distributed under LaTeX Project Public
License, they are now the default and are the only patterns
supported explicitly by this package.

ibycus-babel – Use the Ibycus 4 Greek font with Babel
The package allows you to use the Ibycus 4 font for ancient Greek with Babel. It uses a Perl script to generate hyphenation patterns for Ibycus from those for the ordinary Babel encoding, cbgreek. It sets up ibycus as a pseudo-language you can specify in the normal Babel manner. For proper hyphenation of Greek quoted in mid-paragraph, you should use it with elatex (all current distributions of LaTeX are built with e-TeX, so the constraint should not be onerous).
