Akhi Yuri,
Oh, I see. So when Mar Aphrahat quotes the Peshitta VERBATIM against the Old Scratch, you bring up the "Greek" - as if the "Greek" is one single entity that reads the same way in all the manuscripts, especially comparing Byzantine and Western texts.
Now you change your story and have the Peshitta in Aphrahat's hands, right along with Old Scratch, supposedly.
What else could you say?
In your chronology, I know it's hard to accept that the Peshitta was around during the lifetime of Aphrahat. That's troublesome to your theories.
How many more examples do you want? Do you want a contest to see how many more times, exponentially more times, that Aphrahat agrees with the Peshitta AGAINST Old Scratch?
