SIBI-P1 G1342-12
justice-aligned men
| Morphological Notes | Adjective from δίκαιος; accusative masculine plural (AMP). Used substantively to denote people characterized by justice; functions as the direct object in its clauses. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective δίκαιος derives from δίκη (justice, legal right) and denotes those aligned with justice or what is right. The form δικαίους is accusative masculine plural, functioning substantively here, so "justice-aligned men" reflects both the masculine plural direct-object form and the root sense of conformity to justice. |
