Okay, I have uploaded a page on this inscription to my site. It quotes Andrew Criddle at length (with his permission), and the Unicode bidi for the HTML Hebrew should come out better this board can render it.

Thanks to all for the help in getting this inscription online in an easily accessible form.

Ben.

Two different things. The peshitta is the bible used by the Aramaic speaking Church of the East.
Syriac speaking.

And the document found in the Cairo Genizah was the so called "Damascus Document".

Hi Ben,

Thanks for this. It is very helpful.

Now we just need a copy of the geniza document to compare with the inscription.

Warmly,

Philosopher Jay
