The Vulgate inserts a colon after 'Jesum' to mark a syntactic break before the vision clause. Neither Greek nor Syriac tradition employs punctuation at this juncture, maintaining continuous narrative flow.
Greek uses the present passive participle δαιμονιζόμενον ('being demonised'); Peshitta employs a relative clause with active verb ܕܫܐܕܘܗܝ ('who had demons'); Vulgate expands to a relative clause with passive perfect 'qui a dæmonio vexabatur' ('who was vexed by a demon'). All three convey demon possession but through distinct syntactic structures.
Greek presents three coordinated participles in the sequence: sitting (καθήμενον), clothed (ἱματισμένον), sound-minded (σωφρονοῦντα). Peshitta reorders to: clothed (ܠܒܝܫ), sound-minded (ܘܡܢܟܦ), sitting (ܘܝܬܒ), using a circumstantial construction with ܟܕ. Vulgate reorders to: sitting (sedentem), clothed (vestitum), sound-minded (sanæ mentis), converting the final element to a genitive phrase rather than participle.
Greek employs an articular perfect participle construction τὸν ἐσχηκότα τὸν λεγιῶνα ('the one having had the legion') to identify the formerly possessed man. Peshitta expands this into a full relative clause with existential verb: ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܠܓܝܘܢ ('he who had in him the legion'). Vulgate omits this identifying clause entirely, relying on the preceding relative clause for identification.
