In fact, let the Greek primacists prove where the Aramaic Ephrem texts quote (in fact) the Greek NT.
As you could find out yourselves (on Wikipedia) there are a lot of Ephrem 'Greek' sources which are in fact, not authored by him at all. I would not be surprised if Greek primacists just used that as a source for their claim.
Though, it seems as if my quote in the previous post did not seem important.
As it says, the eastern syriac bible (Khabouris), claims to be copied from a document from the 2nd century.
So; it does in fact not matter too much what churchfathers said and what they quoted.
Why would a bishop of Nineve put a seal on a faked document 'as if' it was a copy of a 2nd century original?
Would he have done it to confuse Greek primacists in our age?
Or maybe this is a forgery seal made by Aramaic primacists? <!-- s

Quote:The third category of Ephrem's writings is his prose work. He wrote biblical commentaries on the Diatessaron (the single gospel harmony of the early Syriac church), on Genesis and Exodus, and on the Acts of the Apostles and Pauline Epistles. He also wrote refutations against Bardaisan, Mani, Marcion and others.
