Mark 16 : 12

The Greek postpositive connective δέ is rendered by Latin autem (also postpositive). The Peshitta omits any equivalent conjunction here, beginning the clause asyndetically with the temporal phrase, a common Syriac stylistic simplification.

Greek uses the prepositional partitive ἐξ αὐτῶν and Latin mirrors it with ex his; Syriac compresses this into the single suffixed form ܡܢܗܘܢ ('of them'), expressing the partitive synthetically rather than analytically.

Greek περιπατοῦσιν and Latin ambulantibus are participles agreeing with the dative/ablative 'two'; Syriac ܡܗܠܟܝܢ stands within a ܟܕ ('while') clause, a construction shift from circumstantial participle to a finite-style subordinate temporal clause.

Greek μορφῇ ('form, outward shape') is matched by Syriac ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ('in the likeness/image'); Latin effigie ('figure, representation') leans toward visual semblance. The Syriac and Latin both nuance toward 'likeness' rather than the more ontological Greek 'form', and the prepositional ܒ- is fused to the noun.

The Syriac introduces the subordinating particle ܟܕ ('while/when') to head the circumstantial clause describing the disciples' walking; neither the Greek nor the Latin transmits a corresponding conjunction, instead using bare participles.

Greek πορευομένοις and Latin euntibus are simple participles of going; the Syriac renders this with ܘܐܙܠܝܢ ('and were going', root a-z-l), coordinating it via the conjunction waw with the preceding 'walking' verb, thereby creating a paired verbal hendiadys absent in the other two traditions.

Greek ἀγρόν ('field, countryside') and Latin villam ('country estate, farmstead') denote rural land; Syriac ܠܩܪܝܬܐ (root q-r-y, 'to the village/town') shifts the referent toward an inhabited settlement, a lexical divergence later harmonised in the Emmaus tradition (cf. Luke 24:13, Emmaus as a village).

The Clementine Vulgate closes the verse with a colon, a punctuation feature with no counterpart in the unpointed Greek or Syriac source tokens, marking continuation into the following clause.
