Greek NT πρασιαὶ πρασιαὶ

Peshitta ܣܡܟܝܢ ܣܡܟܝܢ

Vulgate in partes

Greek employs a distributive reduplication (πρασιαὶ πρασιαί, 'groups [by] groups') to express arrangement in discrete clusters. Syriac mirrors this with ܣܡܟܝܢ ܣܡܟܝܢ (participial reduplication), while Latin renders idiomatically as in partes ('in sections'), avoiding the Semitic distributive construction but preserving the sense of organized groupings.

Greek NT κατὰ ἑκατὸν

Peshitta ܕܡܐܐ ܡܐܐ

Vulgate per centenos

Greek uses the distributive preposition κατά with the numeral ἑκατόν ('by hundreds'). Syriac employs a construct chain ܕܡܐܐ ܡܐܐ (d-mā'ā mā'ā, 'of hundred hundred'), replicating the distributive through noun reduplication. Latin uses per centenos (distributive numeral), a standard Latin construction for expressing distribution that differs syntactically from both the Greek prepositional and Syriac genitive patterns.

construction All three attest

Greek NT κατὰ πεντήκοντα

Peshitta ܘܕܚܡܫܝܢ ܚܡܫܝܢ

Vulgate quinquagenos

Greek repeats the distributive preposition κατά before πεντήκοντα ('by fifties'), maintaining syntactic parallelism with the preceding clause. Syriac uses ܘܕܚܡܫܝܢ ܚܡܫܝܢ (w-d-ḥamšīn ḥamšīn), continuing the construct-chain reduplication pattern. Latin employs the simple distributive numeral quinquagenos without repeating per, a stylistic compression typical of Latin economy while preserving the distributive sense.
