@FrankLuke oh stupid me I misread that as being about the NT Peshitta

"The earliest extant versions of the New Testament Peshitta date to the 5th century ad"

@JackDouglas By the way, in response to your question in a flag on my comment yesterday (sorry about that, I had missed it) ....I was referring to Mark Edward's comment on the question rather than that answer, linking it to the question on Sharp's rule.

@Susan I thought it was probably that - I guess Marks comment was one that Caleb had cleaned up?

I didn't realise my flag would zap your comment!

@JackDouglas No, I think Mark's comment is still there, right?

^^^ this one?

Yes

An allusion to the issue of Greek grammar involved.

OK, I see what you meant now

I've enjoyed learning a bit more about the Syriac manuscript evidence as a result of that question

:)

@JackDouglas It's stuff I didn't know anything about. Interesting, thanks for the links.
