Mark 4 : 16

Greek and Latin construe the clause as a passive participle with the article (οἱ ἐπὶ τὰ πετρώδη σπειρόμενοι / qui super petrosa seminantur), whereas the Peshitta uses a finite perfect verb ܐܙܕܪܥܘ ('were sown') in a relative clause headed by ܕ-, a syntactic shift from participial to finite construction expressing the same idea.

Greek and Latin employ a relative pronoun followed by a temporal conjunction (οἳ ὅταν / qui cum); the Peshitta compresses this into the single particle ܕܡܐ ('who, when'), an idiomatic Syriac fusion of relative and temporal force.

Greek and Latin attest the definite article with 'word' (τὸν λόγον / verbum, the latter without an article per Latin usage); the Peshitta ܡܠܬܐ in its emphatic state inherently bears definiteness, so the article is structurally subsumed.

Greek μετὰ χαρᾶς and Latin cum gaudio express 'with joy' as a prepositional phrase; the Peshitta renders this with the single prepositional form ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ('in/with joy'), the preposition being prefixed, semantically equivalent.

The Clementine Vulgate inserts colons (punctuation) at the close of the participial clause and at the end of the verse to structure the reading; neither the Greek nor the Syriac transmit corresponding punctuation here.
