Morphological Notes	Verb; aorist tense (simple past, undefined aspect), passive voice (subject receives the action), indicative mood (statement of fact), 3rd person singular.
Rendering Rationale	The verb is rendered with the core idea "call," preserving the semantic link to καλέω. The aorist passive indicative (3rd person singular) is reflected by the simple past passive construction "was called," indicating a completed action performed upon the subject.
