before I begin

Kara Wrote:With this in mind, I cannot be totally convinced that Aphaphat directly quoted from the Peshitta NT, a manuscript that is placed, at earliest, at scores of years after his death (442CE), until it can be irrefutably shown that his Demonstrations did not suffer alteration at the hands of a fifth-century scribe who favored the new, accepted version of the Syriac Bible (Peshitta). This possibility must be ruled out first.

."

But again Kara, as before you are asking Nimrod to prove a negative. We can never prove that soemthing didnt happen (in most instances).
All we can do, is see that Aphrahat quotes the peshitta against the OS. We can see that the COE liturgy quotes the peshitta. We can see, as Prof Gwynne dd, that Aphrahat, never quoted from the 5 disputed books. We can see that even though he quoted from the 22 books of the peshitta even though no OS versions of the other books (apart from the gospels and Acts) are known to have existed.
We can look at all this and using Occhams razor conclude that Aphrahat used the peshitta.

Against this you have a conspiracy theory that an unknown scribe changed some, but not all of Aphrahats quotes in Demonstrations, removed any quotes from the disputed 5 books (presumably as the OS was found in an area which used them), and that somehow the OS version of the other 17 NT books were lost without so much as a trace.

Which is more likely to be true?
