Greek uses an articular present participle (ὁ σπείρων, 'the one sowing'); the Peshitta employs a double construction with the agent-noun ܙܪܘܥܐ ('the sower') followed by a relative ܕܙܪܥ ('who sows'), reinforcing the subject; the Vulgate reduces this to a bare relative pronoun (Qui), which then carries over into the following finite verb.
