Greek NT λέγων·
Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ
Vulgate dicens Quid

Greek λέγων carries a raised dot (semicolon-equivalent) marking the boundary; Syriac ܘܐܡܪ adds the conjunctive waw ('and saying'), while the Vulgate supplies an explicit colon punctuation mark to introduce direct speech. The differences are purely connective and orthographic.

expansion Greek NT only
Greek NT ἔα

The Greek interjection ἔα ('Ha!' / 'Let be!') is an exclamation of alarm present in the Byzantine tradition here but lacking in both the Peshitta and the Vulgate, which begin the demoniac's speech directly with the question. Its absence reflects the shorter Alexandrian reading favoured by the versions.

Greek NT ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς;
Peshitta ܠܡܘܒܕܘܬܢ
Vulgate scio qui

Greek expresses 'to destroy us' with infinitive plus separate accusative pronoun (ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς), and Latin matches it (perdere nos); Syriac compresses both verb and object into the single inflected infinitive ܠܡܘܒܕܘܬܢ ('to destroy-us'), a typical Aramaic morphological synthesis.

Greek NT σε
Peshitta ܠܟ

Greek and Syriac both supply an explicit object pronoun (σε / ܠܟ, 'you') as object of the verb of knowing; the Vulgate omits it, leaving the object implicit in the subordinate clause qui sis.

construction All three attest
Greek NT ὁ ἅγιος
Peshitta ܩܕܝܫܗ

Greek uses article plus adjective (ὁ ἅγιος, 'the Holy One') and the Vulgate the bare titular Sanctus; Syriac employs ܩܕܝܫܗ with a pronominal suffix construct ('the Holy One of'), an Aramaic genitive construction binding directly to ܕܐܠܗܐ.

punctuation Vulgate only
Vulgate perdere sis

The Vulgate marks both the address (Nazarene?) and the rhetorical query (perdere nos?) with explicit question marks, whereas the Greek interrogative force is carried by the semicolon after Ναζαρηνέ and ἡμᾶς, and the Peshitta leaves these unpunctuated.
