Greek NT καὶ

Peshitta ܘܟܕ

Vulgate Et cum

Greek uses a simple coordinating conjunction καί with a following aorist participle (ἀποταξάμενος), whereas both the Peshitta (ܘܟܕ, 'and when') and the Vulgate (Et cum) render the circumstance with an explicit temporal subordinator plus finite verb, converting the Greek participial construction into a temporal clause.

Greek NT ἀποταξάμενος

Peshitta ܫܪܐ

Vulgate dimisisset

The Greek aorist middle participle ἀποταξάμενος ('having taken leave') is rendered by a finite verb in both versions: Syriac ܫܪܐ (root sh-r-a, 'he dismissed/released') and Latin pluperfect subjunctive dimisisset within the cum-clause, shifting the voice nuance from 'taking leave of' to actively 'dismissing'.

Greek NT εἰς τὸ ὄρος

Peshitta ܠܛܘܪܐ

Vulgate in montem

Greek εἰς τὸ ὄρος and Latin in montem both employ preposition plus accusative noun (the Greek with article), while Syriac compresses the phrase into the single prepositional form ܠܛܘܪܐ ('to the mountain', l- prefix), a typical economy of the Syriac that dispenses with a separate article.
