But certainly, the Aramaic Peshitta outdates the Vatican texts by nearly a 100 years.

This fact alone does not win the claim of aramaic primacy. This fact alone only wins the claim of earliest specimen of text now on hand.

This fact alone does not win the claim of aramaic primacy. This fact alone only wins the claim of earliest specimen of text now on hand.

And what do you have for a claim other than some references that post-date the Peshitta by 200 years? Do you know that Eusebius (c. 300 CE) quotes Papias (c. 100 CE) that the text of Matthew was in Hebrew? So, where in the Vatican is that text? The Vatican shunned the Peshitta text - and sought to destroy all copies. Ooops.

Sorry, the truth that Rome tried so hard to suppress (that Rome was not the rightful apostolic heir) got out. Eusebius unwittingly admits it. Heggesipus (c. 160 CE) says it. It is even recorded in the Talmud.
