SIBI-P1 G5530-02
having made use for himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist, middle, participle; nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAM,NMS). The aorist marks completed action; the middle voice conveys personal involvement or self-interest; the participle functions adjectivally, modifying a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist middle participle denotes a completed action performed with reference to oneself. Rendering it as "having made use for himself" preserves both the core meaning of employing or using and the middle voice nuance of self-involvement, while reflecting its nominative masculine singular participial form. |
