Shlama Akhi Yuri,
I'm simply quoting the author himself.
Did you not read what he himself said about the western textual tradition - and how they constantly revised their text towards the Greek? I highlighted the important parts in red.
Why should I care about what variants "Phillipps 1388" has - with THAT type of tampering going on in the western tradition?
Give me some eastern variants! Or, aren't there any?
Akhi - out of the 42 manuscripts used by Gwilliam and Pusey in their critical apparatus - do you happen to know how many were eastern? If not, I'll give you a clue - you can count them with one hand if you cut off 2 fingers.
And, all 3 of those agree in reading.
So, we are still waiting for Peshitta variants. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
