Greek and Syriac both place the postpositive conjunction (δέ / ܕܝܢ) after the compound subject 'the chief priests' (ἀρχιερεῖς / ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ), the Syriac rendering the title with the construct chain rabbay kahnē. The Vulgate compresses the title to a single noun Pontifices and the conjunction autem follows as expected; all three are syntactically equivalent.
