Mark 5 : 41

Greek employs an aorist participle with genitive article construction (κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ παιδίου); Vulgate uses a present participle with accusative direct object (tenens manum puellæ); Peshitta uses a prepositional phrase with pronominal suffix (ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܛܠܝܬܐ, 'by-her-hand of-the-girl'). All three convey identical semantics through language-specific syntactic patterns.

The Peshitta omits the entire translation formula (ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον / quod est interpretatum), proceeding directly from the Aramaic phrase to its Syriac rendering. This omission is natural since Syriac readers would understand ܛܠܝܬܐ ܩܘܡܝ without requiring a metalinguistic gloss, whereas Greek and Latin audiences needed the explanatory clause.

Greek and Vulgate expand the translation with a vocative address and emphatic dative construction (τὸ κοράσιον, σοὶ λέγω / Puella, tibi dico, 'Girl, to you I say'), making explicit what is implicit in the Aramaic imperative. The Peshitta, already rendering the command in Syriac, treats ܛܠܝܬܐ ܩܘܡܝ as self-sufficient and omits the redundant explanatory expansion present in the Greek translation apparatus.
