SIBI-P1 Translation G4506-01
he rescued for himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple completed action), middle voice (self-involved), indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist indicative conveys a simple completed act, rendered in English past tense as "rescued." The middle voice signals involvement or interest of the subject, reflected by "for himself," preserving the reflexive/self-engaged nuance of ῥύομαι. |
