Debunking another Trimmism

[Paul Younan]

There is no doubt in my mind that the person(s) responsible for Old Scratch (both manuscripts that disagree even with each other) used the Peshitta as a basis for making a translation from the western Greek text into Aramaic.

Just as a quick FYI sidenote :-)

I've done some statistical analysis between the Curetonian, Sinaitic, and Peshitta and have noticed that there are many places where the Curetonian and Sinaitic agree with the Peshitta more than they do with eachother. :-)

Shlama Akhi Steve-o,

That's great news. We should compile these examples and create an article to be hosted on both sites! I don't think anyone else has made this observation before. (kinda like the whole "Evangelion de Mepharreshe" pointing back to Rabbula)

I think if we demonstrate conclusively that the basis for Old Scratch was the Peshitta, except in cases of disagreement with the Western Greek textual family - then this would put to an end once and for all the headache that Old Scratch is.
