Mark 15 : 26

Greek καὶ ('and') is rendered by Peshitta ܘܟܬܝܒܐ (wa-kṯībā, 'and written'), which conflates the conjunction with the participial notion of 'inscribed,' whereas Vulgate Et maintains simple coordination. The Peshitta anticipates the verbal idea expressed later in Greek ἐπιγεγραμμένη.

Greek uses the article + noun ἡ ἐπιγραφὴ ('the inscription') in a periphrastic construction; Peshitta employs the bare noun ܥܠܬܐ ('cause, charge') without article (Syriac lacks the definite article in this syntactic position); Vulgate titulus likewise omits the article, following Latin norms where definiteness is contextually inferred.

Greek ἐπιγεγραμμένη (perfect passive participle, 'having been inscribed') appears after the noun phrase it modifies; Peshitta ܒܟܬܒܐ (b-kṯābā, 'in writing') uses a prepositional phrase in medial position; Vulgate inscriptus (perfect passive participle) follows Latin participial syntax, agreeing with titulus. All three convey the notion of written inscription but with differing syntactic strategies.

Peshitta inserts ܗܢܐ ܗܘ (hānā hū, 'this [is] he'), a demonstrative copular construction introducing the titular inscription, absent in both Greek and Vulgate. This addition serves as a Syriac stylistic device to frame direct quotations or titles, enhancing narrative clarity. Vulgate uses a colon (:) for punctuation, marking the transition to the inscription without lexical expansion.
