> whether the date of the Peshita is c.175 or 425.

The earliest manuscripts of the peshitta are early fifth century.
The earliest translation into Syriac might have been second century,
though the gospels were generally read in the diatessaron and not M+M+L+J.
Comparison of the Old Syriac and the Peshitta with patristic
quotations suggest that the Old Syriac translation(s) were
the earlier form of NT text.
The discussion in Metzger's book on the versions is quite good, except
that it seems clear that we don't have a satisfying explanation
of how the Peshitta came to be.
