| Morphological Notes | Preposition (Gr,P) governing the genitive case here; indicates agency or position beneath when followed by genitive. |
| Rendering Rationale | As a preposition governing the genitive, ὑπό primarily denotes agency or source from a position conceptually 'under' or 'beneath.' The rendering 'by' preserves this agency sense while reflecting its genitive construction. |
