thank you for the reference, I think I remember seeing it, or reviews.

...
>this is the first example of a scholar who argues in
favor of a Hebrew original of Matthew on
LINGUISTIC grounds.>

how does he explain Matthew's 'narrative TOTE'?
It's a blatant Second Temple Aramaism.

On other grounds I've concluded that it is canonical Matthew's own
Greek style,

Theoretically it could be the Greek style of a translator,
but that is less likely. However, demonstrating that is it
"Matthew" and overlaid in Greek, and not a translator, would not be
worthwhile on a list, since it takes too much foundational buildup..
