Do you think "firstborn" belongs in Matthew 1:25? The Peshitta and the by-A.D. 175 Diatesseron have it, plus the Byz mss. mentioned below.
Matthew 1:25 (HCSB)
but did not know her intimately until she gave birth to a son.[a: Other mss read _to her firstborn son_] And he named Him Jesus.
Because it is in Tatian's consolidation/ synthesis of the 4 Gospels, the phrase "her firstborn" was present in the verse as of A.D. 175-- the year of Tatian's death:
Diatesseron 2:8
http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf09.iv.iii.ii.html
and knew her not until she brought forth her firstborn son.
The text "her firstborn" is present in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:
Matthew 1:25 (based on Younan of peshitta.org)
And-not khakmah [and he did not know her] until she had given birth to her first-born son, and she called his name Yeshua.

Do you think 3, or 4, terms synonymous with 'mourning' belong in Mt 2:18?
The Peshitta and the by-A.D. 175 Diatesseron have 3, as do the txt mss. mentioned below.
Matthew 2:18 (HCSB)
A voice was heard in Ramah,
weeping,[a: Other mss read _Ramah, lamentation, and weeping,_]
and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
and she refused to be consoled,
because they were no more.
Tatian included merely 3 and not 4 terms synonymous with 'mourning.' Of course, in making his consolidation of the 4 Gospels, he didn't include 100% of their text.
Diatesseron 3:18
A voice was heard in Ramah,
Weeping and much lamentation;
Rachel weeping for her children,
And not willing to be consoled for their loss.
The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has merely 3 and not 4 terms synonymous with 'mourning':
Matthew 2:18 (Younan)
"A voice was heard in Ramtha,
great crying and wailing.
Rakhiel crying for her sons
and not desiring to be comforted,
because they were not."
