Shlama Akhi Jeremy:
It's all good. I've worked my way into Romans and I should finish the entire Index in a few days, depending upon the time available. Since I had to change the page numbering to fill in for 33 and 133 the Index for the Mingana Codex will only make sense when Lars Lindgren presents it in its corrected form on the Peshitta Page at Dukhrana. As I said, there are some variants in the reading which seem to support the Khabouris Codex more than the UBS 1905. However, the scribes noted the variants and many of these annotations support my original findings when I first transcribed the Khabouris Codex in 2005. Most of the variants so far are grammatical. Synonyms are virtually non-existent among the Eastern Peshitta manuscripts. I think I found one once but now I can't remember where it was. That's how rare they are. <!-- s:wow: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/wow.gif" alt=":wow:" title="Wow" /><!-- s:wow: -->
There are so many scribal annotations on every page that it will take a special task to transcribe, translate and collate all of them.
