Herodia
#1
...

I wanted to ask if this can be confirmed one way or the other by the Peshitta text...After I checked all the English translations which are derived from the Alexandrian and Byznatine text types I note that they follow their particular Greek reading, The Alexandrian and its English translations seem to make a contradiction in the two verses though, where one shows that the dancing woman was the Daughter of Herodias, and the other shows that it was Herodias herself that danced before Herod.... or at least says that the Daughter of Herodias had the same name as her Mother...but Josephus says that the dancing Daughter was named 'Salome'.

The Byzantine and its English translations though, show that in both verses it was indeed the Daughter of Herodias that danced before Herod, but does not name her as the Alexandrian text seems to do.

Then I went and looked at the Peshitta text and its English translations and they all show that it was indeed the Daughter of Herodias that danced before Herod and does not name her either.

But in Mr. Bauscher's translation, which I have here shows (against all the other Peshitta English Translations that I have seen) in Matthew 14:6 "But when Herodus' birthday came, Herodia danced before the dinner guests and she pleased Herodus."

But in Mr. Bauscher's same translation of the other account in Mark 6:22 it reads "And the Daughter of Herodia came in, and she danced, and she pleased Herodus...

So I ask...does the text Mr. Bauscher uses show this to be the right reading? I will check his interlinear. But is there a textual contradiction here in the Peshitta manuscripts like there seems to be in the Alexandrian texts?

Paul Younan's translation reads thus below, and follows Murdock, Etheridge, & Lamsa.... I don't have the other English Peshitta translations available to compare them and if someone wants to show them here it would be good...

In Matthew 14:6 "But when the birthday of Herodus occurred, the daughter of Herodia danced before the guests and she pleased Herodus." -Younan

In Mark 6:22 "And the daughter of Herodia entered and danced and pleased Herodus and those who were reclining with him." -Younan
