Philoxenus?

[judge]

And I'm sure someone here has quick access to the CSCO books and can check the Philoxenus quote?
in Christ,
Fr. John D'Alton

I don't have access to the Philoxenus quote, but am interested too see it. Was Philoxenus really saying that the peshitta of John's gospel contained many mistakes?
If so, what mistakes could he have been referring to?

Good luck with your PHD, whatever you decide to do it on. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
Personally I think Aphrahat might be a more interesting choice. If it can be shown that Aphrahat quotes the peshitta, then th e peshitta becomes the earliest quoted Syriac version of the NT. If the peshitta is the earliest quoted version of the NT then convoluted attempts to show the peshitta to be a revision of the OS become very weak from a purely evidential point of view.
