SIBI-P1 Translation G847-01
of him
| Morphological Notes | Personal pronoun; third person; masculine; singular; genitive case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine singular form denotes third-person possession or relation, best captured by "of him" to preserve the explicit genitive case rather than collapsing it into a simple possessive adjective. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
there
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Here, αὐτοῦ is locative, not possessive; 'there' is the standard context-driven rendering. 'Of him' (P1) is incorrect in this usage. |
