SIBI-P1 Translation G4815-03
to the ones who seized together
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (completed action), active voice, participle mood; dative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle conveys a completed act of seizing, while the dative masculine plural marks the group as recipients or indirect participants. "Seized together" preserves the σύν (together) + λαμβάνω (take) root sense without narrowing to a specific context. |
