Indeed, there is only *one* historical example of Syriac-in-"Hebrew" garshuni and that happened in the middle ages as a translation and preservation project (found in the Cairo Genizah, it was a Syriac medical text that someone was apparently trying to translate into their own dialect of Aramaic, transcribing it and then translating it). Syriac in Jesus' era was never written in anything else but early Estrangela.
