Hello,
what Deißmann is saying here, is thoroughly in support of the substitute kyrios. On the other side, he explains how it became a part of the Greek OT. At the end of the facsimile he mocks on Aquilas use of PIPI in his rendering of the Greek OT. It would be interesting to see, how he arguments on that.
It's really interesting, that even 110 years ago religious people became enemies of the personal name of God, mostly because of anti-Semitic reasons.

Anti-semitism played a major role in the disappearing of the Tetragrammaton in the Christian literature. Whatever seemed to be a Judaizing practice was discredited and eventually destroyed after the 4th century CE. Modern scientists have expressed, as well, similar anti-Jewish ideas.
