Wedding/Banquet or Wedding/Banquet house?
KJV So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with [the] guests.
MRD And those servants went out into the streets, and collected all they found, both bad and good; and the place of feasting was filled with guests.
GNT kai exelqontev oi douloi ekeinoi eiv tav odouv sungagon pantav ouv euron ponrouv te kai agaqouv kai epljsqj o gamov [+ twn some mss] anakeimenwn
There???s an interesting variant in Greek:
Some mss have numfwn instead of o gamov: a (alef=synaiticus), B* (Vaticanus, corrected), L (Leningradensis), 0102, 892 and ???pauci??? (few latin mss).
So, the difference would be this:
o gamov = the wedding or (nuptial) banquet ITSELF. (Cf. Heb 13:4: Peshitta, [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0gwwz[/font]).
numfwn = THE PLACE of the (nuptial) banquet (Banquet-house: Paul Younan Interlinear trad.) (The Greek word means: bridal suit or house were the wedding is celebrated = PLACE).
-NB. There???s a weird variant too, agamov in ms C, but it???s obviously a ???lapsus calami??? of the copyist.
Explanation? Peshitta to the rescue:

Here we find [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Fwt4m tyb [/font], which means (according the dictionaries consulted) BOTH the Wedding/Banquet or THE PLACE where it is celebrated. V.g.: in the J. Brun ???Dictionarium Syriaco-Latinum???, we find these meanings for [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Fwt4m[/font] : compotatio, convivium, convivium nuptiale [feast]; triclinium [dinning room]; [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Fwt4m tyb [/font]: IDEM, i.e.: THE SAME MEANINGS. It seems to be an Aramaic idiom (beyt +) which some Zorban wasn???t aware of. Could this possibly be the explanation of the versions: Wedding/Banquet or Wedding/Banquet place?
