Mark 6 : 28

The Peshitta omits the explicit mention of 'the head of him' (τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ / caput ejus), incorporating this referent implicitly within the verb ܐܝܬܝ ('brought [it]'). This represents a typical Syriac economy of expression where the direct object is understood from narrative context.

The Vulgate inserts a colon after 'disco' to mark a major syntactic break before the second clause, while Greek and Peshitta use simple coordination (καὶ / ܘ). This reflects Latin rhetorical punctuation practice rather than a textual variant.

Greek employs the article with the dative noun (τῷ κορασίῳ) to specify the recipient; Latin uses the bare dative 'puellæ'; Peshitta uses the preposition ܠ with the definite noun ܠܛܠܝܬܐ. All three constructions are functionally equivalent dative-of-recipient expressions, differing only in morphosyntactic realization.

Greek repeats the articular noun phrase (τὸ κοράσιον) as subject; Latin uses the bare noun 'puella'; Peshitta employs the independent pronoun ܘܗܝ ('and she') followed by the noun ܛܠܝܬܐ in apposition. The Syriac construction represents a characteristic Semitic resumptive-pronoun pattern for topic continuity.
