SIBI-P1 Translation G4914-01
established custom
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular; nominative (also attested in dative singular form συνηθείᾳ). |
| Rendering Rationale | "Established custom" reflects the root sense of a practice formed through repeated association (σύν + ἦθος), emphasizing habituated usage rather than a single act. The nominative feminine singular form denotes the concept as a substantive entity. |

custom
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'established custom' is a bit redundant in this context; 'custom' alone conveys the intended habitual sense from SILEX and the Greek. |
