Shlama Akhi Mike:
A little correction if you will. I erred and so have others in dating the Khabourus original manuscript to 100 years after the Roman Persecution 165 A.D. when it should be dated to to time of Constantine and the persecution of Persion King Sappur II. Sorry for the error. The date should be about 100 years before the persecution of Sappur II, putting it at about 225 A.D. So you should be looking at the particular (Bishop Shahlufa) around 225 A.D. If I am not grossly mistaken.
Shlama,
