Shlama Kara,

...or that the Odes of Solomon influenced the sources of the Peshitta.

Am I understanding you correctly, that you are suggesting the possibility that a biblical translation was influenced by a hymnal?

The funny thing about all this is that (and perhaps Kara is not aware of this) the OS is supposed to underlie the peshitta. The OS is supposed to be the source of the peshitta.
