Greek uses article + present participle (οἱ προάγοντες); Vulgate employs relative pronoun + imperfect indicative (qui præibant); Peshitta uses demonstrative pronoun + perfect verb with pronominal suffix (ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܕܡܘܗܝ 'those who preceded him'). All three express the same substantival participial construction but with tradition-specific syntax.
