The Arabic text of the Diatessaron

I expect to have Marmardji’s reliable edition of the Arabic Diatessaron according to the two complete mss. (Beirut 1935) some time in the coming week. I will have a look and send the answer to your question straightaway, as soon as the book is to hand.
Strangely enough, Marmardji seems not to have known about the fragments of a third ms. in Beirut. I expect to have Euringer’s study of these in a month. (Die Überlieferung der arabischen Übersetzung des Diatessarons, Freiburg, 1912). As the title shows, Euringer goes into the whole question of the history of the Arabic text.
