The first date given, 175, is an approximate date for the completion of 
the OT Peshitta (although different books / groups of books were 
translated by different people at different dates) and 425 is an 
approximate date for the completion of the NT Peshitta. 

You might want to look at:

P.B. Dirksen, "The OT Peshitta", in M.J. Mulder, ed 'Mikra: Text, 
Translation, Reading, and Interpretation of the Hebrew Bible', 1988 
pp.255-97.

B.M. Metzger, 'The Early Versions of the New Testament' (Oxford 
1977) pp.48-63.

Yours,

David Taylor
