Whoops........I was assuming (always a dangerous thing!) that this conversation was about the whole of the 'Canon' of the P'shitta N.T.
Sorry. Going back and re-reading the thread, I can see now that this is not true.
Yes, 'Albion' is my real given name.
It's an ancient name for Britian, as you might possibly know. Maybe as old as 3000-4000 years, in fact.
On ancient maps, Britian was once called "Albion".
It ('Albion') was my Dad's name too. Add that, to my last name 'Guppy' (like the fish), and it's a hand full of a name.
'Guppy' as a surname, came from Western/Central England (Dorsetshire and Somerset) where my Dad immigrated from, and his parents and grandparents were from.
Western England is to this day, a very "Celtic" place, add this to the Scottish blood in my veins (from the 'Scobey's, a sept of the Highland Clan, 'McKay'), and you have A LOT of Celtic blood there.
The Celt's lived pretty much in "tribes", and Clans, as Paul (Younan) mentioned about the Assyrian people's.
Anyway, there's your question answered.
Shlama, Albion Guppy
P.S. I insist on using my real name here as I've been literally stalked all over the internet by a hacker (the one who took down Peshitta.org), and he expects me to run and hide from him.
I'm NOT running, and I'm NOT hiding!

Were were discussing the "Pericope de Adultera" in John's Gospel, not the Western 5 in those last posts.
