Some of those Manuscripts written on vellum of The Aramaic New Testament (The Peshitta), Full NT, The Four Gospels, The Acts of the Apostles w/the General Epistles, and the 14 Pauline Epistles which are sitting upon the shelves of St. Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula as I write this, are some of the very oldest copies of The Eastern Peshitta NT and the Western version of its text that are known to be extant in our day. From the 5th,6th,7th, and 8th centuries.
MS.3 there is one of the oldest copies of The Apostle Paul's Letters that we can find in Aramaic. Look at the image of one of its pages at the link given below, where Hebrews 2:9 is seen, and see what a later "scribe" has done to the original reading of the verse in that copy! What does this tell us?
Right-hand page, 1st column of text, 10th line up from bottom, 1st word in on the line.
