The Aramaic text used in the AENT is the most original autograph that modern scholars know of at time of publication and most scholars agree that it is always best to translate from the oldest, most original text. When Greek New Testaments were going West, Aramaic texts were rapidly proliferating in the East; however, there is a marked contrast between the texts themselves. The Aramaic texts were maintained by scribes who had great reverence for each word, indeed each letter; but the same cannot be said of many Greek translations. No two Greek texts agree to the extent that over 360 Aramaic texts agree within the Peshitta family. The reader will discover that although the Khabouris Codex contains some minor differences within the Peshitta family (these differences are well footnoted) its accuracy is breath-taking. The base text is extremely trustworthy and has been reproduced with acute meticulousness for nearly two millennia. Roth also discusses the chain of custody of these ancient Aramaic New Testament texts and the scholarship pertaining to these texts throughout history.
