His citation is remarkable since it differs dramatically from the text of the OT Peshitta. This essay analyzes the citation and presents a solution. What looks at first blush like a citation of the Peshitta OT is in reality a blending of the Syriac NT citation of the OT and the OT Peshitta text. His use of Gen. 15.6 corroborates this method of OT citation. Lund, Jerome Alan. “A Non-Peshitta Jeremiah Citation by Aphrahat.” Aramaic Studies 5:1 (2007): 133–40.
