Mark 6 : 22

Greek uses a genitive absolute participle (καὶ εἰσελθούσης, 'and when she entered') and Latin a cum-clause (cumque introisset); the Peshitta renders with a finite verb ܘܥܠܬ ('and she entered'), preferring paratactic finite constructions over subordinate participial syntax, a hallmark of Syriac narrative style.

Greek τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ ('his daughter') and Latin filia ipsius use an analytic article-plus-possessive; the Peshitta compresses this into the single suffixed noun ܒܪܬܗ ('her/his daughter'), a synthetic Semitic possessive form that conveys identical meaning.

Greek and Latin coordinate a second participle (καὶ ὀρχησαμένης / et saltasset, 'and having danced'); the Peshitta again resolves the participle into the asyndetic finite verb ܪܩܕܬ ('she danced'), dropping the conjunction and maintaining the chain of finite clauses.

Greek and Latin express the indirect object with a single dative (τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ / Herodi); the Peshitta uses the proleptic dative construction ܠܗ ܠܗܪܘܕܣ ('to him, to Herod'), an idiomatic Syriac anticipatory pronoun resumed by the named object — semantically equivalent but syntactically doubled.

Greek καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις ('and those reclining with [him]') and Latin simulque recumbentibus use a substantival participle; the Peshitta renders with a relative clause ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܣܡܝܟܝܢ ܥܡܗ ('and to those who were reclining with him'), adding the explicit comitative pronoun ܥܡܗ that Latin leaves implicit.

Greek marks the subject with article, the postpositive connective δέ, and noun (ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς, 'but/now the king'); both the Peshitta ܡܠܟܐ and the Vulgate rex render only the bare noun 'king' without the adversative particle, a routine simplification in the versions.

Greek τῷ κορασίῳ and Latin puellæ are diminutive datives ('to the little girl'); the Peshitta ܠܛܠܝܬܐ (root T-l-y, 'to the young girl') is a functional equivalent. The Greek high point (·) and Latin colon mark the introduction of direct speech.

Greek uses a conditional relative ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς ('whatever you may wish'), Latin a simple relative quod vis ('what you wish'); the Peshitta ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܝܐ ܐܢܬܝ ('the thing that you desire') employs the indefinite ܡܕܡ plus relative and the explicit feminine pronoun ܐܢܬܝ, making the addressee's gender overt where Greek and Latin leave it in the verb form.
