DC, I was thinking of the NET online Bible translation, sorry.
But even though I prefer an English translation of the Greek NT to come from the Majority text, (as the WEB does) rather than the Alexandrian/Critical text, (as the NET does) you will find that sometimes the Peshitta NT will agree with the readings of the Textus Receptus Greek text form, rather than what is found in the Majority text form.
The Aramaic Peshitta is thus unique, in that it does not fully conform to any of the Greek textual families alone, but is rather independent of them all. So, there are a number of Greek versions of the NT, but only one Aramaic Peshitta NT, the Eastern Peshitta. The Western version, termed the "Peshitto", with the W5, is of a later production and influenced by the Greek version, (in various places) that was in use at the time and place of its construction.
Shlama,
Chuck
