This is obviously the next frontier in our Peshitta studies. This is going to be huge because it provides more evidence that "dialektos Hebraidi" refers to Aramaic and not Hebrew by the early church fathers. Jerome's witness here, along with quotes like Vir. Illustr. V, now more aligns with testimony of Hegisippius and his "Syriac Gospels".
Also fitting into the historical time line, we have Origen quoting Peshitta exclusive Hebrews 2:9 about two centuries earlier and we can take Papias' comment on Matti and Origen's quoting of Hebrews as proof that the full 22 book canon came to Rome early (Matti is the first book and Hebrews the last in the East).
The only possible source for Matti 7:6's reading in the Vulgate is the Peshitta, and the Peshitta easily also explains how the Greek stuff from around that same time got it wrong.
Very, very cool! Let's bring on the Latin! <!-- s:onfire: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/onfire.gif" alt=":onfire:" title="On Fire" /><!-- s:onfire: -->
