Akhi Jeremy, thanks for your thoughts as they echo mine exactly. The presence of Aramaic loan words are expected in the Greek, we are told, because after all the authors were Semites writing in Greek. BUT, Greek and Latin loan words present in the Aramaic cannot be explainable by the fact that those same Semitic authors lived in a Greco-Latin empire.
Does that seem fair?
Akhi Chuck: the person replying to you isn't really giving any of the sort of examples that I am looking for. My challenge was to show a *mistake* that a supposed Aramaic translator made when translating from a Greek source.
Ask the person replying to read the history of Russian Orthodox Patriarch Nikon's controversial revisions of Russian texts in the 16th century, due to the errors made when translating from the Greek into Slavonic. And how this led to the schism of the Old Believers sect.
Or better yet, invite him here so we can have some fun. <!-- s
