The Vulgate inserts the inferential particle ergo ('therefore'), connecting this verse to the preceding Sadducean premise. Neither the Greek nor the Syriac transmit a connective here, the Greek opening asyndetically with the numeral.
Greek uses the simple imperfect ἦσαν ('there were'); the Peshitta employs the periphrastic existential ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ('there were [in existence]') combining the existential particle with the auxiliary; Latin renders erant followed by the colon. The constructions are semantically equivalent.
The conjunction καί / et linking the existence-clause to the action is omitted in the Peshitta, which proceeds asyndetically to ܩܕܡܝܐ. This is a stylistic feature of Syriac narrative coordination.
Greek and Latin both supply the substantivising article (ὁ πρῶτος / primus understood with the definite sense); the Syriac ܩܕܡܝܐ is an emphatic-state adjective standing alone, the definite force being inherent and without a separate article.
Greek uses a present participle ἀποθνῄσκων ('[while] dying'); Latin renders with the perfect periphrasis mortuus est ('he died'); the Syriac ܘܡܝܬ is a finite preterite coordinated by waw. The Peshitta thus merges the connective and the verb of dying into one token, contrasting with the Greek's participial subordination.
Greek and Latin negate with a standalone negative particle (οὐκ / non); the Syriac ܘܠܐ fuses the coordinating waw with the negative ܠܐ, so the Peshitta lacks a separate conjunction before the negated verb.
Greek (ἀφῆκεν) and Syriac (ܫܒܩ) use a finite verb 'he left'; the Vulgate substitutes an ablative absolute non relicto semine ('no seed having been left behind'), a typical Latin syntactic compression of the negated clause.
