Ok....So it is to be told then, that the "Great Persecution" that the Colophon mentions is not that of Nero, but that of Sapur II ?
Steven, what is the date of the Mingana Codex...and does it give any clue as to where it was translated? And is it a 100% complete 22 book Eastern Peshitta Text in one scribal hand? Is it as old and better as the Yonan Codex?
Also...I have read some information about both the Khabouris and Yonan Codex, and it says that both were on some type of tour during the mid 1950s...the info seems to confuse the two Codex's though.
Thanks for your help.

Everyone needs to get on the same page with the date of the Khabouris Codex...I just read this today from the site that sells the AENT.
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Wo94idWf3MIJ:www.hebrewnewtestament.com/khabouris.htm+Eric+Rivera+Khabouris+Codex&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com">http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... google.com</a><!-- m -->
This page says that the Khabouris was scribed in the year 164...but noted that it is said by some to date from around the year 210...Paul says sometime around early 400s...and other sites say it is dated about the year 1090...so we have a swing time of about a 1000 years!!!
Anyway...I got a message back from Better Light...and they said they have no idea where either the Khabouris Codex is, nor where the person (Eric Rivera) is who made the images and had them with him when he left. So hopefully the better images will surface some day.
Anybody working on getting a printed copy of either the Mingana or the Yonan Codex?
What I would love to see is a real Aramaic/English interlinear printed edition with the direct words under each word like Paul has...speaking of that, what Aramaic Manuscript is the one shown here at Peshitta.org?
Blessings,
