Shlama Akhi Michael,
Akhan Yuri knows there are no real "variants" in the Eastern Peshitta textual tradition.....that's why he's already back-pedaling with the tired old "homogenous text" argument.....even comparing the Peshitta to the Byzantine Greek text!
I'm just wondering how long it's gonna take for him to post an example of a real variant from the eastern tradition?
Akhi Yuri - missing Daleth proclitics and the like aren't going to count. Remember - you said there are more than just "spelling/scribal errors" - we are waiting for an example from Gwilliam and Pusey's critical edition.
Remember - eastern ("Assyrian", "Persian", "CoE", "Nestorian") manuscripts only.

It would sure make things alot clearer if someone could demonstrate this claim. Quite frustratingly the Yuri suggested in post 54 that one should assume these variants exist until proven other wise. Yuris' reasoning for this can be seen in previous posts (which those interested can peruse)
