Dave Wrote:It's even easier than that Paul. It's just a simple question, did Aphrahat quote only the Peshitta in all the records that are attributed to him? Every single one, was it only the Peshitta?
Aphrahat expounded on Peshitta readings from memory, called Targums. A large percentage of the time, as my examples show, it happends to be a word-for-word match (against Old Scratch.)
Other times, they match nothing at all. This is where Aphrahat is paraphrasing.
I thought I've stated this before a million times, but there it is again.
Now, can we go through each example one by one? Please?
