Quote:The oldest known Arabic writing found in Saudi Arabia, from ca. 470 AD belong to a Christian context and predates the advent of Islam with 150 years.
In December 2015, researchers from a French-Saudi expedition studying rock inscriptions in southern Saudi Arabia published a 100-page-long report in France’s Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres that reported that the oldest Arabic text, carved on a large rectangular stone that was found in Saudi Arabia, is simply of a name, “Thawban (son of) Malik,” decorated with a Christian cross. The same cross systematically appears on the other similar stelae dating more or less to the same period.
470 AD was 140 years AFTER Eusebius forged the TF. Grow the fuck up will you. You are embarrassing yourself.
So what... now you are eliminating an entire language? Because of a connection to Christianity. That seems ridiculous to me!
Also, so which version are you saying is an interpolation from Esebius? It appears that you are first saying one thing, and then another. Are you a politician?

Sorry. The TF is a pile of shit.
Recall what Bishop Warburton said: It (the TF) is a rank forgery and a very stupid one.
Warburton died in 1779.
The work I'm referring to is from the 10th century, although they believe that the Greek and Arabic versions diverges a while before that.
However the question still remains, what facts or reasons, do you think that this version is an interpolation?
