SIBI-P1 G1492-16
the having-seen-and-now-knowing (ones)
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense; active voice; participle; nominative masculine plural. The perfect form of εἴδω functions with present force, expressing a settled state of knowledge resulting from prior perception. |
| Rendering Rationale | εἰδότες is a perfect active participle, nominative masculine plural. The perfect tense of εἴδω carries the sense of a completed seeing with a present state of knowledge, so "having-seen-and-now-knowing" preserves both the visual root and its resulting awareness. The nominative masculine plural participle is rendered substantivally as "the ... ones." |
