SIBI-P1 Translation G782-03
having greeted
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist, middle, participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAM,NMS); indicates a completed action by the subject, functioning adjectivally or circumstantially. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist middle participle nominative masculine singular denotes a completed act of greeting performed by the subject. Since ἀσπάζομαι is middle in form but active in meaning, "having greeted" preserves both the root sense and participial aspect. |
