Mark 1 : 30

Greek uses article + postpositive conjunction (ἡ δὲ); Syriac employs prefixed conjunction ܘ ('and') directly on the noun; Vulgate places the conjunction postpositively (autem) after the verb, reflecting Latin stylistic preference for delayed connectives.

Greek uses imperfect κατέκειτο ('was lying [sick]'); Syriac employs participial construction ܪܡܝܐ ܗܘܬ (lit. 'cast/lying she-was'); Vulgate uses simple imperfect decumbebat ('was lying down'). All three express durative past state, but through different aspectual strategies.

Greek καὶ εὐθὺς ('and immediately') and Vulgate et statim are fully attested; Syriac ܘܐܡܪܘ omits the temporal adverb, proceeding directly from conjunction to verb. This may reflect Syriac narrative economy or a Vorlage variant.

Vulgate inserts a colon after febricitans, creating a stronger syntactic break between the descriptive clause and the report to Jesus. Greek and Syriac maintain continuous syntax without such punctuation.
