The Age of the Peshitta

[distazo]

Also, I think that "Syrians", those living in Syria, and "Assyrians", those living in Assyria, are not the same people group at all, nor did they live in the same place, though their language (Aramaic) may have been very similar...could be wrong though, still learning about these details.

just a side note:
I remember this to be a possible misreading from the original Judaic Aramaic which could be HA'AM while Syria would 'ARAM.
