Synopsis

Excerpt from The Syriac Forms of New Testament Proper Names

The agreement between S, C, and P in the Gospels is the justifi cation for using P in the rest of the New Testament, where S and C fail us. It should, of course, be remarked that the definite agree ment of P with S C is naturally confined to those Proper Names which are transmitted without variant in the Greek. Naturally it may happen that there is a variant in a name, and in such cases P and S C are sometimes found on opposite sides, e. G. In Joh i 28 S C support 'bethabara', while P supports Bethany'. But such cases are comparatively rare, and do not seriously call in question the general faithfulness of P to the nomenclature of the Old Syriac Version.
