SIBI-P1 G3318-01
in the Between-Rivers land
| Morphological Notes | Noun, dative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,DFS,). The dative case here most naturally expresses location: "in" or "within" the region called Μεσοποταμία. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of μέσος (middle/between) and ποταμός (river), expressing the meaning "Between-Rivers." The dative feminine singular form is reflected by the locative sense "in," which matches the grammatical function of Μεσοποταμίᾳ in context. |
