SIBI-P1 Translation G3082-02
to Lystra
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative plural, neuter; proper place name in plural form typical of certain cities. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative plural form Λύστροις functions as a locative/dative of place with a proper city name; rendering it as "to Lystra" preserves the dative case while maintaining the proper designation of the urban location. |

Lystra
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'to Lystra' mistranslates the locative dative; should simply be 'Lystra' (without directional sense) to match the context and maintain the one-to-one mapping. |
