SIBI-P1 G935-02
to the sovereign-king
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DMS,); indicates indirect object, recipient, or relation ("to/for the king"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of βασιλεύς as a sovereign ruler while explicitly reflecting the dative masculine singular form ("to the"). The compound "sovereign-king" highlights the root idea of foundational authority inherent in the term and maintains its personal, masculine singular reference. |
