Hi brother,
There we have the first non-jewish but Syrian church outside of Jerusalem.
Lots of words in that environment, are simply loanwords. (such as eucharistiya, for breaking the bread)
It would suprise me more if no greek loanwords were in the Peshitta. If that were the case, it would be e.g. Chaldean instead of Syrian.
