Mark 6 : 24

The Greek opens with a connective Καὶ ('And') which is absent in both the Peshitta and Vulgate at this point; the Latin Quæ and Syriac ܗܝ instead begin the clause with the demonstrative/relative subject, so the conjunction is unmatched in the other traditions.

Greek uses article + postpositive δέ (Ἡ δὲ, 'and she'); Syriac mirrors this with ܗܝ ܕܝܢ (demonstrative + dyn particle); the Vulgate compresses both into the relative pronoun Quæ ('who'), turning a paratactic clause into a relative construction.

The Greek aorist participle ἐξελθοῦσα ('having gone out') is rendered by the Syriac finite verb ܢܦܩܬ; the Vulgate employs a cum-clause (cum exisset), a typical Latin idiom for circumstantial participles.

Greek and Latin use a simple finite aorist/perfect (εἶπεν / dixit, 'she said'); the Peshitta ܘܐܡܪܐ prefixes the waw-conjunction and uses a participial/imperfect form, reflecting the Syriac tendency to coordinate clauses rather than subordinate the participle.

Greek τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς and Latin matri suæ express 'to her mother' analytically with a possessive pronoun; the Syriac ܠܐܡܗ fuses preposition, noun, and the 3fs pronominal suffix into a single morphological unit, a normal Semitic construction.

Greek αἰτήσωμαι is a middle deliberative subjunctive ('shall I ask for myself?'), nuancing self-interest; the Latin petam and the Syriac ܐܫܐܠܝܘܗܝ are simple active/transitive forms, the Syriac additionally carrying a 3ms object suffix ('shall I ask it') with no equivalent in Greek or Latin.

Greek ἡ δὲ and Latin At illa ('but she') both supply an explicit contrastive subject for the mother's reply; the Syriac has no separate subject phrase here, the verb ܐܡܪܐ carrying the reference implicitly and placing the contrast on the following dative ܠܗ.

The same verb 'said' (εἶπεν / dixit) recurs to introduce the mother's answer; in the Syriac the single ܐܡܪܐ at index 7 serves this second speech-frame, since the first reply was not separately verbalised, producing a one-to-two mapping against the Greek and Latin.

The Peshitta adds the dative ܠܗ ('to her'), specifying that the mother spoke to the daughter; neither the Greek nor the Vulgate supplies this complement to the verb of speaking, marking it as a Syriac clarifying gloss.

Greek expresses 'the Baptist' periphrastically as a substantival present participle with article (τοῦ βαπτίζοντος, 'the one baptizing'); the Vulgate Baptistæ and the Syriac ܡܥܡܕܢܐ both use a fixed agent-noun title, a lexicalised epithet rather than the verbal phrase of the Greek.
