It seems odd, although it may be true, that the Eastern Orthodox sided with Augustine on the canon, when they viewed him with distrust on many other matters.
I was also puzzled by this:

The Orthodox Study Bible’s OT is a direct translation of the Septuagint in the style of the New King James. It has all of the books save 4th Maccabees.
