Differences between Peshitta (Eastern region) and Peshitto (Western Region)
1) Pericope de Adultera (John 7:53 - 8:11) isn't in some Peshitto manuscripts. But Pericope de Adultera is in some Peshitto manuscripts. British Library, Add. 14470 is a 5th century Peshitt"o" manuscript that didn't originally have Pericope de adultera. Pericope de Adultera was added to the manuscript around 9th century.
Here is the link to the information - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Library,_Add._14470">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Li ... Add._14470</a><!-- m -->
This is a Peshitt"o" manuscript, because Peshitta never had Pericope de Adultera.
2) In Acts 20: 28, some Peshitto copies have, " The assembly of God,
which he purchased with his own blood." But some Peshitto copies have "The assembly of the Anointed,'' All Peshitta manuscripts have "The assembly of the Anointed." Anointed is Meshikha in Aramaic.
3) 1 Cor. 5: 8, Peshitta copies have, "with the leaven." But Peshitto copies have "with the unleavened [bread]," etc.
4) In Heb. 2:9, All Peshitta copies have, " For he, apart from
Godhead, tasted death," etc. But the Peshitto copies have, "For he,
God, in his merciful favour tasted death," etc. (William Norton's 1889 book Page lxxi)
Hebrews 2:9 (Check the underlined for the difference)
Eastern PeshittA ends with "
for He, apart from Alaha, tasted death in the place of everyone."
Western PeshittO has "
for Alaha Himself, by His grace, tasted death in the place of every person."
5) Like Peshitta, Peshitto didn't have 2nd Peter, 2nd John, 3rd John, Jude, Revelation. So they translated these books from Greek into Aramaic which became known as Harklean version. But these 5 books were never added to Peshitta. Peshitta always stayed with 22 books.
