A Textual Commentary On 2 Peter 2:18
(a) From the Peshitto we may quote the reading ܩܪܣܩܘܣ at 2 Tim. iv. 10 for Κρήσκης ; here a Syriac manuscript reads ܦܪܣܩܘܣ, perhaps followed by the Arabic (see Tisch, ad loc.). These variants are clearly due to the confusion of ܩ and ܦ. Two other instances are given by Michaelis2 from 2 Pet. ii. 17, 18, where the Erpenian Arabic (here a secondary version) makes it probable that ܡܢ ܠܥܠܐ, by which it translates υπο λαιλαντος, is a mistake for ܡܢ ܥܠܥܠܐ ; and in verse 18 ܓܘܚܘܐ (laughter), by which it translates υπερογκα, a mistake for ܓܘ ܢܚܐ .
