SIBI-P1 G4130-03

they were filled up

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed past), passive voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. The augment (ἐ-) marks past time, and the passive ending -θησαν signals aorist passive plural.
Rendering RationaleThe verb πλήθω carries the core sense of filling or making full. The form ἐπλήσθησαν is aorist passive indicative, third person plural, indicating that they (plural subjects) were acted upon and became full in a completed event. "They were filled up" preserves the passive voice and the completed past action of the aorist.
