SIBI-P1 Translation G1762-01
to one
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; dative masculine singular of εἷς; primary cardinal numeral functioning substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative masculine singular form ἑνὶ denotes a single individual in the dative case. Rendering it as "to one" preserves both the core numeral sense of a single unit and the dative relation without adding contextual nuance. |
