Akhi Paul,
Didn't you tell me once that the colophon at one time might have read "dated to the time of the Great Persecution" which would put Khabborris around the year 310, and that the COE patriarch read that himself? Khabboris also has a few serto pages in it, so perhaps the oldest pages could still be 4th century, and they dated the later ones??
Also, the Macdougals were subjecting the mss to digital imaging tests to confirm that--and I take it these are the results--12th century?
Finally, if the Khabboris is that old what is the oldest Eastern Peshitta NT mss--Syriac Siniaticus 2--5th century?
Maybe I am confused, but that's how I remember things, and my memory is usually okay.
