book of Hebrews: better from Greek, or Aramaic?
In A.D. 350, what language dominated Antioch? (Greek? Aramaic?)

Joachim Jeremias, _The Prayers of Jesus_ (1967), 124pp., 111

T. Zahn (see preceding note) [_Der Brief des Paulus an die Roemer_ (1925), 396] pointed out that the church fathers Chrysostom [A.D. 347-407], Theodore [Theodore of Antioch, A.D. 350-428] and Theodoret [Theodoret of Cyrus, A.D. 393-457], who were brought up in Antioch, probably under the supervision of Syriac speaking nurses and nursery-maids, unanimously bear witness that small children used to address their fathers as '_abba_'. G. Kittle... deserves credit for indicating the importance of this statement.
