The postpositive Greek δέ ('now/and') is a discourse connective with no separate equivalent in either the Peshitta or the Vulgate, both of which lack a corresponding particle here.

The postpositive Greek δέ ('now/and') is a discourse connective with no separate equivalent in either the Peshitta or the Vulgate, both of which lack a corresponding particle here.
The Greek temporal clause ὅταν ἔλθωσιν ('whenever they come [back]') is wholly absent from both the Peshitta and the Vulgate, which proceed directly to the conditional clause; this is a substantive omission of the verbal action of returning from the market.
Greek βαπτίσωνται is aorist middle subjunctive ('they wash themselves'); the Peshitta ܥܡܕܝܢ is a present participle and the Vulgate baptizentur a present passive subjunctive, differing in voice and aspect but agreeing in sense of ritual washing.
Greek ἄλλα πολλά ('many other things') places the substantive adjective before the quantifier; the Syriac ܘܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ and Latin alia multa preserve the pair but with internal word-order differences typical of each language's adjectival sequencing.
Greek παρέλαβον is active ('which they received [as tradition]'); the Vulgate tradita sunt is passive ('which were handed down'), inverting the diathesis, while the Syriac ܕܩܒܠܘ retains the active 'which they received.'
The Vulgate adds the dative pronoun illis ('to them'), making explicit the recipients of the tradition; neither the Greek nor the Syriac supplies an overt indirect object here.
Greek ξεστῶν is a Latin loanword (sextarius, a liquid measure/pot); the Vulgate urceorum ('pitchers') and the Syriac ܕܩܣܛܐ (a loan from Latin sextus/Greek ξέστης) all denote small measuring vessels, with each tradition selecting its own culturally familiar term.
Greek χαλκίων ('copper utensils') is rendered by the Syriac two-word genitive phrase ܕܡܐܢܝ ܢܚܫܐ ('vessels of bronze/copper') and the Latin æramentorum ('bronze wares'); the Syriac unpacks the single Greek noun into an explicit construct chain.
Greek κλινῶν denotes 'dining couches' (the gloss reflects Greco-Roman triclinium custom); the Syriac ܕܥܪܣܬܐ and Latin lectorum both mean 'beds/couches.' Many witnesses omit this final clause about couches; its presence here aligns the three traditions, with the Vulgate closing on a colon (idx 25).
