Greek εὐθέως ('immediately'), characteristic of Mark's narrative style, is not rendered in either the Peshitta or the Vulgate, both of which proceed directly from the subject to the act of hearing.
Greek παρακούσας carries the nuance 'having overheard/ignored' (παρά intensifying or deflecting the hearing); the Peshitta ܫܡܥ and Vulgate audito both render a neutral 'having heard', losing the ambiguity present in the Greek compound verb.
Greek employs a present passive participle (λαλούμενον, 'being spoken'); the Vulgate renders this with a relative clause and imperfect passive (quod dicebatur), while the Peshitta uses a relative-marked active verb ܕܐܡܪܘ ('that they said'), shifting the diathesis from passive to active impersonal.
Greek λέγει is a vivid historical present ('he says'); both the Peshitta ܘܐܡܪ and the Vulgate ait render it as past narrative, the Syriac additionally prefixing the conjunction waw ('and').
Greek ἀρχισυναγώγῳ and Latin archisynagogo preserve the single Hellenistic compound title 'ruler of the synagogue'; the Peshitta decomposes it into the analytic phrase ܪܒ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ('chief of the assembly'), with the preceding ܠܗܘ functioning as the dative-marked demonstrative.
The Clementine Vulgate inserts colons before and within the direct speech, an editorial punctuation convention with no counterpart in the unpointed Greek or Syriac base texts.
