The over 200 ocurrances are in the Peshitta, including John 8 and the 5 non-Eastern recognized books.
I apologize for butting in here but if I am not mistaken, the Peshitta does not include John 8 + 2Peter, 2 & 3 John, Jude and Revelation. Taking that into consideration and looking at my list, Jeremy would be correct that the PeshittA in fact only has 192 occurrences of MarYah with variants, and the PeshittO has 215. I realize when I began posting in this thread, I may have stated that the 215 occurrences were in the Peshitta and that would have been inaccurate. My info was coming from the Khabouris Codex, Dave Bauscher and the AENT 4th edition. Even though I do know better, I often make a common mistake of referring to the 27 books of the PeshittO Renewed Covenant as the Peshitta when this is not accurate. Someone please correct me if I am wrong concerning the difference between the PeshittA/O. (I capitalize the last letter through the post for my own peace of mind in differentiating the two.)
On the other hand, if you agree with this, perhaps I have misunderstood the purpose of your post in which case I apologize for sticking my nose in. I just was under the impression this post was meant to correct Jeremy when no correction was necessary... as far as I can tell.
