            At least five different Syriac translations of
               part or all of the New Testament are known, though not all of these are extant. The
               Diatessaron, a second-century harmonization of the four Gospels, has not survived
               except in quotations, particularly in Ephrem's commentaries. The "Old Syriac" was a translation made around
               the 3rd century that is extant in two Gospel manuscripts; scholars speculate it may
               have also included Acts and the Pauline Epistles. The Peshitta version (4th/5th
               century) has been the most widely used translation until the present and has abundant
               manuscript attestation. It contains the Gospels, Acts, the Pauline Epistles, and the
               Major Catholic Epistles, but not 2 Peter, 2-3 John, Jude, or Revelation. In the early
               6th century, Philoxenos of
                  Mabbug commissioned a version (the "Philoxenian") made by Polycarp, which has not survived
               except perhaps in the Minor Catholic Epistles and Revelation. Finally, Thomas of Harqel in the early 7th
               century revised or referred to the Philoxenian in order to make a new version (the
               "Harqlean" or "Harklensian") that was closely imitative of the Greek and included a
               textual apparatus.
