Greek employs a temporal conjunction with adverb and finite verb (ὅταν ὀψὲ ἐγένετο); Peshitta uses a compound temporal particle with copula (ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܪܡܫܐ); Vulgate renders with cum + ablative absolute construction (cum vespera facta esset). All three express the same temporal clause ('when evening came') through tradition-specific syntactic patterns.
