SIBI-P1 Translation G862-01
to the imperishable
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, dative masculine singular (Gr,AA/NS,,,,DMS); attributive form modifying a masculine singular noun in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἄφθαρτος means "not subject to decay or corruption," from the negation prefix ἀ- plus φθαρ- (to destroy, decay). The dative masculine singular form ἀφθάρτῳ is rendered "to the imperishable," preserving both the case (dative) and the singular masculine agreement. |
