Mark 6 : 56

The Greek protasis ὅπου ἂν with the modal particle expresses indefinite frequency ('wherever'); the Vulgate quocumque and the Syriac ܐܝܟܐ ('wherever') render the locative-indefinite force, but Syriac lacks a separate particle, the indefinite sense being absorbed into the relative adverb.

Greek εἰσεπορεύετο is a single imperfect verb; Syriac employs the periphrastic ܥܐܠ ܗܘܐ (participle + enclitic ܗܘܐ), the standard Syriac construction for durative/iterative past, matching the Greek imperfect aspect.

The Greek third member of the series, εἰς ἀγρούς ('into fields'), is preserved by the Vulgate (aut civitates) only partially and is entirely absent from the Peshitta, which collapses the geographic triad into a single villages/cities pairing.

Greek and Latin use the plural (ἀγοραῖς / plateis, 'in the marketplaces') with article; Syriac ܒܫܘܩܐ employs the singular 'in the market', a typical Syriac idiom treating the marketplace as a collective mass-noun.

Greek ἐτίθεσαν is a finite imperfect 'they were laying'; Syriac renders with the periphrastic participle ܣܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ to convey the same durative-iterative past aspect, while the Vulgate ponebant matches with a simple imperfect.

Greek παρεκάλουν is a simple imperfect 'they were begging'; the Peshitta again uses periphrasis ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ (participle + enclitic) for the iterative past, the conjunction waw on ܘܒܥܝܢ corresponding to the Greek καί already aligned.

Greek ἵνα introduces the purpose/content clause; the Vulgate renders it with ut. The Syriac has no discrete conjunction here, the subordination being carried by the following ܕܐܦܢ ('that even if'), so the ἵνα-function is absorbed into the conditional particle.

Greek τοῦ ἱματίου αὐτοῦ ('of his garment') is rendered by Vulgate vestimenti ejus with separate possessive pronoun; Syriac ܕܠܒܘܫܗ fuses the genitive linker and the possessive suffix into a single inflected form, a normal Syriac economy of expression.

Greek ὅσοι ἂν ('as many as') with modal particle expresses indefiniteness; the Vulgate quotquot captures this distributive force, while Syriac uses the analytic ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕ ('all those who'), a double-headed quantifier-plus-relative construction semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.

Greek ἥψαντο is an aorist 'touched'; Syriac employs the periphrastic ܩܪܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ for habitual past action, whereas the Vulgate tangebant uses an imperfect, all three converging on iterative sense despite differing aspectual morphology.

Greek ἐσῴζοντο (imperfect passive of σῴζω, 'were being saved/healed') is rendered by the Vulgate periphrastic salvi fiebant and the Syriac periphrastic ܡܬܐܣܝܢ ܗܘܘ ('were being healed'); the Syriac root th-a-s specifies 'heal' rather than the broader σῴζω semantic range of 'save/preserve/heal'.
