Shlama,
in the book of Romans, the last verse in the Peshitta is the 24th verse in the Greek manuscripts. i compared the content of that particular passage with Paul's other letters, and the phrase "grace be with you" appears in some form or another in the last verse of of every one except 2 Corinthians, where it is in the second to last verse.
i know this is a minor aspect, but it just seems to bolster the idea that the Peshitta's ending of Romans is indeed the original ending.
thoughts?
