ἔθηκεν

laid

SIBI-P1 G5087-07
he/she/it was placing
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing/repeated action), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root τίθημι means "to place" or "to set" in a broad and foundational sense. The imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular (IAA3, S) indicates an ongoing or repeated action in past time performed by a single subject, hence "he/she/it was placing," preserving both the durative past aspect and the active voice. |
