shlomo oH Dave,
In regards to the passage; I'm not saying that it's not in the Official Peshitto Text that my Church (The Antiochan Syriac Maronite Church) uses, but in the Peshitto text "John 8:1-11" is physically marked as not being part of the original text.
I can't even comment from which other Syriac text the passage came from. But I know for a fact that it wasn't in the original Peshitto Text (or rather combination of books) that comes to us from the Apostles.
It wasn't read as part of the Syriac Maronite Official Lectionary before the year 2005. And the reason why they added it in the 2005 edition of the Lectionary has nothing to do with Tradition.

John Gwynn has found 8 Aramaic mss., 3 of which are Peshitto, with the passage. 2 have the passage at the beginning of the John 8 section, where most Greek mss. have it. Others have it attached to the end of John.
The 1905, 1920, ...1979, 1987, etc. critical editions of The Peshitta NT have this passage. This one does not use The Harklean Version at all and is the first and only popular edition of The Peshitta based on over 70 mss. for its NT text.
Burkta,
Dave
