How many NT documents were written in Aramaic?

I have heard about 1.

Which one? And how did you hear it?

The 'document' I had in mind was the sign on the cross.

Since I use the NIV mainly, I was thinking of what it said: John 19:20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek.

So, I just HAD to look it up.

In John 19:20, Pilate wrote his sign for the cross in three languages, Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Certain Bible versions translate the "Hebrew" as "Aramaic", most notably the NIV; and while the NRSV translates it as “Hebrew,” it has “Aramaic” as a marginal note. The actual word being translated, Hebraisti, means “the Hebrew or Jewish language” which can technically mean either Hebrew or Aramaic.
