It is a so-called verse which Names The Anouinted One by MorYah. I know that this in itself does not prove Monophysitism but it is one of the first places people that promote Monophysitism point to. So I assume that the only reason for the Name/Title MorYah in this verse would be to help support Monophysitism. If it did not help their cause they would not use it in their arguments. Yet you will not find the Anointed One in this so-calleed verse in the Eastern PeshittA though. Apparently the keepers thereof did not feel a need to inject extra stuff in an attempt to prove what they believed. Thank YHWH for that, awmain! Or we really would be in a pickle as to just what the True ReNewed Covenant says due to the fact that no other textural tradition has a constant preservation.
The Eastern PeshittA copies we have today while not the original texts, their contents are attested to have gone as far back as the 1st and 2nd centuries (as quoted and attested to by early Aramaic Assembly fathers), and preserved beautifully every since. The Western PeshittO was/is nothing other than a 5th century concoction and known to be the Eastern PeshittA trashed out with the Greek texts variances. Try and find quotations from the early Syrian Fathers of the PeshittO variants before the 5th century. They never quoted the Western Five either because like the other Greek variants they too did not exist in the Aramaic until they where translated from the Greek texts in the 5th century. If the PeshittO people did not take an Aramaic texts to twist around then it is funny that they have ended up with an almost word for word with an Aramaic Text known to exist before they made the PeshittO. If you ask me it looks like they took the Eastern PeshittA to do just that, as they are other than the Greek variants a word for word rendition. And being it is proven that Western PeshittO is not in line with the so-called Old Syriac, we know that the Eastern PeshittA is the only candidate left.
All evidence when taken together points to the Eastern PeshittA as the oldest and best there is. Nothing else can come close to its purity and/or age that we have available to us today.
