Distazo...thanks for that reply...but it does not adress the issue at hand.

Please read this part below again:

"but study of the Biblical quotations in the writings of Syrian Fathers Aphraates and Ephraem has demonstrated that neither of these leaders used the Peshitta..."

IS THIS TRUE...and if not, have you checked to see if this is so or not?

1.Aphrahat can be seen on many occasions to agree word for word with the peshitta against the
"old syriac".
2.Also Aphrahat agrees word for word , at times, with the peshitta of the epistles. As the old syriac has no version of any of the epistles, it follows Aphrahat used the peshitta.
3. Aphrahat only quotes from the 22 books of the peshitta.
