SIBI-P1 G758-02
the ruling-one
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS,). Substantival present participle from ἄρχω, functioning as a title for one who exercises authority; here marked as the direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | ἄρχων derives from the verb ἄρχω (“to rule, to begin”) and literally denotes “the one who rules.” The form ἄρχοντα is accusative masculine singular, indicating one specific male ruler as the direct object in a clause; “the ruling-one” preserves the participial root sense while reflecting its singular masculine form. |
