Mark 7 : 26

Greek places the article and conjunction before the noun (ἡ δὲ γυνὴ); Peshitta mirrors this order with pronoun + particle + noun (ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܬܐ); Vulgate omits both article and conjunction, beginning directly with the noun (mulier), a typical Latin stylistic preference.

Greek uses the simple imperfect ἦν ('was'); Peshitta employs a compound construction ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܘܬ (existential particle + past tense auxiliary); Vulgate uses the imperfect Erat, all semantically equivalent but syntactically distinct.

Greek Ἑλληνίς ('Greek woman, Gentile') is rendered in Peshitta as ܚܢܦܬܐ ('pagan, heathen'), a more explicitly religious designation. Vulgate uses gentilis ('Gentile'), positioned after mulier with enim ('for, indeed'), creating a causal or explanatory nuance absent in the Greek and Peshitta.

Greek uses a single compound ethnic designation Συροφοινίκισσα with the dative phrase τῷ γένει ('by race'); Peshitta expands this into a prepositional phrase ܡܢ ܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܕܣܘܪܝܐ ('from Phoenicia of Syria'), making the geographic relationship explicit; Vulgate compresses to Syrophœnissa genere, mirroring the Greek structure but omitting the article.

Greek places the article before the noun and separates the verb (τὸ δαιμόνιον ἐκβάλῃ); Peshitta integrates the verb with the noun in a single clause (ܕܢܦܩ ܫܐܕܐ, 'that he cast out the demon'); Vulgate follows Greek word order (dæmonium ejiceret) but without the article, typical of Latin syntax.
