Greek NT ἀπῆλθον

Peshitta ܘܐܙܠܘ

Vulgate ascendentes abierunt

Greek ἀπῆλθον ('they went away') is rendered by the Peshitta with the single verb ܘܐܙܠܘ, which also carries the conjunction. The Vulgate expands the action into a participle of embarking (ascendentes, 'going up [into the boat]') plus the main verb abierunt, splitting one Greek aorist into two coordinated Latin verbal elements.

Greek NT ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ

Peshitta ܒܣܦܝܢܬܐ

Vulgate in navim

Greek and Latin both employ a prepositional phrase with the article/no-article for 'in the boat' (ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ / in navim), the Vulgate's accusative reflecting the motion-of-embarking idiom; the Peshitta uses a single proclitic-prefixed noun ܒܣܦܝܢܬܐ ('by/in [the] ship'), placing it after the destination rather than before, a difference of word order.

Greek NT εἰς ἔρημον τόπον

Peshitta ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ

Vulgate in desertum locum

Greek εἰς ἔρημον τόπον and Latin in desertum locum agree in adjective-noun order ('into a deserted place'); the Peshitta inverts to noun-then-attribute ܠܐܬܪܐ ܚܘܪܒܐ ('to a place, a desolate one'), the normal Syriac construct/attributive sequence.

Greek NT κατ᾽ (kat᾽)

Peshitta ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ

Vulgate seorsum

The Greek idiom κατ᾽ ἰδίαν ('privately, by themselves') is a two-word prepositional adverbial; the Vulgate compresses it to the single adverb seorsum, while the Peshitta uses the suffixed reflexive ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗܘܢ ('by themselves'), explicitly marking the third-plural subject that the Greek and Latin leave implicit.
