Syriac Forms of New Testament Proper Names

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. 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.
