Mark 1 : 30

Greek articulates the subject with article + δέ + noun (ἡ δὲ πενθερά); the Vulgate renders the connective with postpositive autem before socrus, matching the Greek word order; Syriac collapses article, possessive, and noun into the single suffixed form ܚܡܬܗ ('his/her mother-in-law') prefixed with the conjunction ܘ, omitting any adversative particle.

Greek κατέκειτο is a single imperfect verb ('was lying down/sick'); Latin Decumbebat likewise renders it as one imperfect form fronted to the head of the clause; Syriac employs the periphrastic construction ܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ (passive participle plus the auxiliary 'was'), the normal Syriac means of expressing durative past action.

Greek uses the present participle πυρέσσουσα ('fevering') agreeing attributively with the subject, mirrored by Latin febricitans; Syriac instead uses a prepositional phrase ܒܐܫܬܐ ('with/in fever'), shifting from a participial predicate to an adverbial complement. The Latin colon (token 5) is editorial punctuation with no counterpart in the other witnesses.

The verb of speaking is shared (Greek λέγουσιν, Vulgate dicunt, Syriac ܘܐܡܪܘ), but in Syriac it carries the prefixed conjunction ܘ, fusing 'and' with the verb, whereas Greek and Latin keep καί/et as the separate connective already aligned above.

Greek περὶ αὐτῆς ('concerning her') is a preposition plus genitive pronoun, matched analytically by Latin de illa; Syriac expresses the same relation synthetically with the single form ܥܠܝܗ (preposition ܥܠ plus 3fs suffix), a typical Semitic fusion of preposition and pronoun.
