SIBI-P1 G21037-01

the more-well-born ones

Morphological NotesGr,NP,,,,NMPC = adjective, nominative masculine plural, comparative degree; used substantively to refer to a group characterized as comparatively well-born or noble.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective εὐγενής combines εὖ (well) and γένος (birth, kind), meaning “well-born” or “noble.” The form εὐγενέστεροι is nominative masculine plural comparative, so "the more-well-born ones" preserves both the comparative sense ("more") and the masculine plural nominative form functioning substantively.
