Mark 8 : 19

Greek employs the simple article τοὺς ('the' five loaves); the Peshitta substitutes the demonstrative ܗܠܝܢ ('these'), lending a deictic emphasis absent from the Greek and unrepresented in the Vulgate, which omits any determiner here.

Greek substantivises the numeral with the article (τοὺς πεντακισχιλίους, 'the five-thousand [men]'); the Peshitta renders it analytically as ܠܚܡܫܐ ܐܠܦܝܢ ('to five thousands') and the Vulgate likewise as quinque millia, both lacking the Greek article that marks the crowd as a known referent.

Greek and Latin use a substantive noun (κλασμάτων / fragmentorum, 'of fragments'); the Peshitta ܕܩܨܝܐ derives the term from the same root q-ts-y as the verb 'broke' (ܩܨܝܬ), producing an etymological figura etymologica ('broken-pieces of breaking') foreign to the Greek and Latin lexical choices.

Greek πλήρεις and Latin plenos render the predicate adjective 'full' directly; the Peshitta expands with the circumstantial particle ܟܕ + ܡܠܝܢ ('while being full'), forming a syntactic subordinate clause typical of Syriac participial constructions.
