Mark 5 : 17

Greek ἤρξαντο ('they began', aorist middle of ἄρχω) and Latin cœperunt are finite verbs; the Peshitta fuses the conjunction and inceptive verb into ܘܫܪܝܘ ('and they began'), the standard Syriac inchoative auxiliary, so this index is shared with the conjunction group above.

Greek αὐτόν (accusative object of παρακαλεῖν) and Latin eum are direct objects, whereas Syriac ܡܢܗ ('from him') governs the petition with a prepositional suffix, reflecting the Syriac construction ܒܥܐ ܡܢ ('to ask of'); semantically equivalent but a different valency pattern.

Greek expresses the request with a bare infinitive ἀπελθεῖν, while Latin uses a purpose/object clause ut discederet and Syriac uses ܕܢܐܙܠ ('that he should go') with the ethical dative ܠܗ; the finite subordinate constructions in Latin and Syriac contrast with the Greek articular-less infinitive.

Greek τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν and Latin finibus eorum render 'their territory' with an explicit genitive plural pronoun, while the Peshitta compacts this into the single suffixed form ܬܚܘܡܗܘܢ ('their border/region'), absorbing the article and the pronoun into one inflected noun.
