Shlama Akhi Abudar,
Perhaps I was not clear. When this thread started, the claim was made that the Vulgate agreed WITH THE PESHITTA on Matti 7:6 which is to say that I know the Peshitta reads "earrings on dogs" and I have translated it as such for many years.
My comment was that the Vulgate Latin, when I checked it, did NOT have the Peshitta reading, but I want a Latin expert to confirm that.
If the Vulgate matched Peshitta with "earrings on dogs" I would view that as extremely significant evidence but the Latin seems to say "holy things to dogs", matching the Greek.
On the other hand, Old Latin mss k (Codex Bobensies) agreeing with Peshitta Mark 9:49 is every bit as significant to me as a Matti 7:6 agreement between the two sources would have been. Clearly the matter is ine requiring greater attention for that reason.
Hope this helps! I can translate the Aramaic just fine! <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
