I think this is very significant.
Because, if you look at all the places in the NT where it speaks of the "Throne" of God, in Matthew and the other NT books, even Revelation, which is believed to come from a Greek source, the word is Kursya or a variation of it, not Tronos as the Greek versions have.
It seems to me, that Matthew actually used the word "Tronos" in these two places for some reason, rather than "Kursya", as he does in the other places in his Gospel, and Peshitta being a copy of the Aramaic Gospel of Matthew and not a translation of it, does not translate the word "Tronos" to "Kursya".
IF Peshitta were a translation of a Greek form of the Gospel of Matthew, then these two places with "Tronos", would have been translated as "Kursya", as is seen, for instance in Revelation 4:4.
