bound ones
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative case, masculine gender, plural number (Gr,N,,,,,AMP). Functions as a direct object; refers to multiple male captives. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term δέσμιος derives from δεσμός (bond, chain), so "bound ones" preserves the root imagery of being tied or restrained rather than the institutional sense of "prisoner." The accusative masculine plural form is reflected by the plural "ones," indicating multiple male persons functioning as the direct object in the clause. |
