SIBI-P1 G1585-01
you (plural) were utterly-forgetting (yourselves)
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing action), middle voice (reflexive/self-involved), indicative mood (statement of fact), 2nd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἐκλανθάνομαι combines ἐκ (out, completely) with λανθάνω (to escape notice, be hidden), conveying the sense of becoming completely oblivious. The imperfect tense is rendered as "were ... -ing" to show ongoing past action, the middle voice is reflected with "(yourselves)" to preserve reflexive/self-involved nuance, and the second person plural is expressed by "you (plural)." |
