Jewish Syriac Proverbs translation source behind Targum Proverbs v1 ยท Draft

This article describes an entity that is not directly attested as an extant translation source; it is inferred from source-citation traces and should not be read as ordinary documentation of a surviving Jewish Syriac Proverbs text.
Epistemic status
Draft article. The shared-source claim is source-backed but secondary and requires linguistic verification.
