Mark 6 : 43

The Vulgate expands κλάσματα with the doublet reliquias fragmentorum ('leftovers of fragments'), a clarifying hendiadys not present in the Greek or Syriac, which both use a single term for 'fragments' or 'broken pieces.'

Greek employs a genitive construction (δώδεκα κοφίνων πληρώματα, 'twelve baskets' fullness') where the numeral modifies the container. Latin mirrors this with duodecim cophinos plenos (accusative + adjective). Syriac restructures with a circumstantial clause introduced by ܟܕ ('while/when'), yielding 'twelve baskets while [they were] full,' a characteristic Semitic participial construction expressing the same state but with different syntax.

Greek includes the article τῶν before ἰχθύων ('the fish'), which the Vulgate preserves with de piscibus. The Peshitta omits any article (ܘܡܢ ܢܘܢܐ, 'and from fish'), reflecting standard Syriac usage where the definite state is unmarked in prepositional phrases of this type.
