SIBI-P1 G1240-01
a in-turn-receiving successor
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMS — noun; accusative case; masculine; singular. It functions as a direct object and refers to one male individual who succeeds another. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term combines διά (through, in succession) with δέχομαι (to receive), describing one who receives a role or position in sequence after another. The rendering "in-turn-receiving successor" preserves this root sense of receiving through succession while reflecting the masculine singular accusative form as a single male successor functioning as a direct object in context. |
