the propitiation-place
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,ANS — Noun, accusative case, neuter gender, singular number. The accusative marks it as the direct object within its clause; neuter singular corresponds to the lexical form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun ἱλαστήριον derives from ἱλάσκομαι (“to appease, to make atonement”) and denotes the place or means by which appeasement or atonement occurs. Rendering it as “the propitiation-place” preserves the concrete, locative force of the -τήριον ending (place/instrument) and reflects the accusative singular neuter form as a definite direct object. |
