Hi Zardak,
You are starting to sound a bit sweet there...Praise God.
I guess you haven't heard about the "Western Five" circumstance before, right?
The Aramaic Church of the East, who recieved the NT Books from the hands of the Apostles about 78 A.D....drum roll....did not receive 2nd Peter, 2nd & 3rd John, Jude, or Revelation in the collection.
Why? Because at the time they got their copy of the Aramaic Scriptures from the Apostles...the other 5 books/letters were not written as yet...That is how old the Eastern Aramaic Peshitta is.
Even in the Greek lands...these five books were disputed as being authentic, because of their late date and abscure history...it took a few hundred years before the Greeks could decided fully on them.
As to how many words are total Aramaic words are in the Western Aramaic Peshitto version of Revelation, which is said to be a translation from an ancient Greek text, though some dispute that notion...you can ask David Bauscher who claims that he has translated the perfect version of the NT from the 1905 UBS Peshitto text. He like numbers like you do...and plays with codes and stuff...you might like to talk to him about all that.
Or you can do a count yourself on Dukhrana.com (Maybe Stephen knows) where the text can be found for the 1905 Peshitto, which includes the Western Five books. The Eastern Aramaic Peshitta Khabouris Text does not have them, being it is not from Greek souces...and also lacks the supplied verses that were added to the Western Peshitto version to make an Aramaic conform to the Greek.
So you are real sure about Panin's Numeric NT I see...lets compare it with the Eastern Aramaic text then...see how it measures up to your favorite Greek re-constructed text. There is already one agreement there in Acts 28:29. <!-- s
