Shlama Akh,

Roman slur? What about it made you think it's a slur?

It doesn't correct Peshitta (as if that's a possibility.) It makes better Greek construction than the Aramaic from which it's derived. Akhan Iakov can speak better about this than I can.

Anything can happen.

What silence? If you want me to address Greek texts, don't hold your breath. I'm not into the cookie-cutter approach.

YOU go ahead and nit-pick your preferred readings.
