SIBI-P1 G1492-12
the having-seen-and-thus-knowing one
| Morphological Notes | Verb, perfect tense, active voice, participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PEA,NMS). The perfect of εἴδω functions with present meaning, expressing a present state resulting from prior perception. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form εἰδώς is a perfect active participle, nominative masculine singular. The perfect tense expresses a completed act of seeing with a present state resulting—thus "having seen" and therefore "knowing." Rendering it as "the having-seen-and-thus-knowing one" preserves both the visual root sense and the stative force of the perfect participle in masculine singular nominative form. |
