![]() What can be questioned is whether Syriac was translated from the Greek, or was it copied from earlier Aramaic versions which no longer exist. The Greek manuscripts are older than the Aramaic/Syriac. The next oldest Aramaic/Syriac version is the Peshitta text, containing both Old and New Testaments, dated to the first half of the fifth century (410AD-430AD). The earliest Aramaic New Testament manuscripts are the old Syriac copies of the Gospels from the late third to early fourth century. Two famous Greek codices from the fourth century contain both Old and New Testaments – the Codex Siniaticus and the Codex Vaticanus. There are several late second century and third century Greek papyri. Manuscript Π 52 is considered the oldest, dated to the first half of the second century. The earliest extant New Testament texts are in Greek.
