construction All three attest

Greek NT ἦν

Peshitta ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ

Vulgate Erat

Greek uses the simple imperfect ἦν ('there was'); Syriac employs the periphrastic existential construction ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ('there was present/existing'), combining the particle of existence with the auxiliary verb — a characteristic Syriac means of expressing past-tense existence. The Vulgate Erat matches the Greek single-verb form.

Greek NT τῷ ὄρει

Peshitta ܛܘܪܐ

Vulgate montem

Greek marks the noun with the dative article τῷ ὄρει ('the mountain/hill'); Syriac ܛܘܪܐ and Latin montem render the noun without a separate article-token, the Syriac employing its emphatic state and the Latin its anarthrous accusative — semantically equivalent geographic references.

Greek NT χοίρων

Peshitta ܕܚܙܝܪܐ

Vulgate porcorum

Greek and Latin place the genitive 'of pigs' (χοίρων / porcorum) immediately after the head noun 'herd'; Syriac, owing to its agreement of the adjective ܪܒܬܐ with the head noun, postpones the genitive ܕܚܙܝܪܐ until after the modifier, reflecting normal Syriac noun-phrase ordering.

Greek NT βοσκομένη·

Peshitta ܕܪܥܝܐ

Vulgate pascens

Greek uses a present middle participle βοσκομένη and Latin a present active participle pascens, both functioning attributively ('feeding'); Syriac uses the relative-marked participial form ܕܪܥܝܐ ('that was grazing'), introducing the action by means of the relative particle d- — a syntactic, not semantic, divergence.
