The Age of the Peshitta

[SteveCaruso]

There is no indication of not even a single person speaking Greek in Jerusalem.

Erm... You completely discount every extant Greek inscription from first century Jerusalem?

That's something I would not have anticipated, especially since the Corpus Inscriptionum Iudaeae/Palaestinae has at least 38 examples of Jewish inscriptions in Greek from the exact period from Jerusalem proper alone in which you say there is nothing (let alone the huge corpus of non-Jewish inscriptions from that period). Those numbers don't include all of the synagogue inscriptions either.

I would like to give you a genuine opportunity to revise your statement as it's categorically and demonstrably incorrect.

And if you won't... I'm not sure I can continue debating with you. Everyone who is reading along will understand why. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
