I wouldn't say that it means nothing. That tells us that the Peshitta has Apostolic authority behind it, therefore it makes it more textually pure than the Greek New Testament textual families. It doesn't really make a difference to me whether the New Testament was originally written in Aramaic or Greek, but I have come to the conclusion that it was originally written in the Aramaic language. The Greek is still an important witness to the reliability of our current New Testament. If it is a translation, then it is likely the first translation (same goes for the Aramaic).
