Mark 7 : 28

Greek and Latin present a finite present 'says/dixit'; the Peshitta fuses 'and said' (ܘܐܡܪܐ) into a single waw-prefixed form, so the conjunction and verb share one token. The Greek historic present λέγει is levelled to a past in both Syriac and Latin.

αὐτῷ / ܠܗ / illi — indirect object 'to him'. The Vulgate's colon (idx 6) is editorial punctuation introducing direct speech and has no counterpart in the other traditions.

Greek pairs καὶ … γάρ ('for even'), and Latin renders this with nam et; the Peshitta compresses the emphatic correlative into the single adverb ܐܦ ('even, also'), losing the explanatory causal force of γάρ but preserving the 'even' nuance.

Greek κυνάρια and Latin catelli are diminutives ('little dogs/puppies'), matching the domestic image; the Peshitta uses the unmarked plural ܟܠܒܐ ('dogs') without a diminutive morpheme, a typical Syriac flattening of the Greek hypocoristic.

Greek ὑποκάτω τῆς τραπέζης and Latin sub mensa use a single preposition + genitive/ablative; the Peshitta stacks two prepositions ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ('from under') before ܦܬܘܪܐ, an idiomatic Syriac compound locative expressing the same spatial relation.

Greek ἀπὸ τῶν ψιχίων and Latin de micis express 'from the crumbs' with a partitive preposition; the Peshitta uses the bare noun ܦܪܬܘܬܐ ('crumbs') as direct object of 'eat' without an explicit partitive preposition, a construction difference rather than a semantic one.

Greek τῶν παιδίων and Latin puerorum render 'of the children'; the Peshitta ܕܒܢܝܐ uses the genitive of ܒܢܝܐ ('sons/children'). The trailing pilcrow (¶) on the Greek token marks a paragraph break in NA28 and carries no textual weight.
