In Peshitta
Matth. 19:28 "...when the Son of man shall sit upon the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve seats...".
In Greek text it says 'throne' in both cases.
Aramaic 'tronos' means throne and 'kurs'ya'' means both throne and seat.
If the Greek original would be 'throne' in both cases, the Aramaic translator would translate
it either 'throne' or 'seat' since Zorba has one word for both cases.
Now it looks like Zorba translated it into one word.
