Mark 5 : 18

Greek employs a genitive absolute (ἐμβαίνοντος αὐτοῦ, 'as he was embarking'), whereas Syriac ܣܠܩ and Latin ascenderet use finite/subjunctive verbs governed by the temporal conjunction; the explicit pronoun αὐτοῦ is absorbed into the verb morphology in both versions.

Greek expresses the goal with preposition + article + noun (εἰς τὸ πλοῖον); Syriac ܠܣܦܝܢܬܐ marks the same directional sense with the prefixed lamadh, and Latin navim uses a bare accusative of motion without a preposition, each idiomatically equivalent.

Greek substantivises the participle (ὁ δαιμονισθείς, 'the one who had been demon-possessed'); Syriac uses the relative ܗܘ ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ('he whose demons'); Latin expands into a full relative clause qui a dæmonio vexatus fuerat — semantically equivalent constructions differing in syntactic weight.

Greek ἵνα and Latin ut introduce the purpose/content clause; Syriac lacks a separate conjunction here, the subordination being carried by the prefixed dalath on ܕܥܡܗ.
