ekeînos

that

A demonstrative pronoun primarily meaning 'that one,' used to designate someone or something distant in place, time, or thought from the speaker or the discourse context. In various contexts, it denotes that person or thing, often as opposed to one previously mentioned or present (as with οὗτος, 'this'). In discourse, ἐκεῖνος can function anaphorically (referring to someone previously mentioned), deictically (pointing out someone or something further off), or contrastively (distinguishing that one from another).

to that one

Morphological NotesDemonstrative pronoun; dative masculine singular (Gr,ED,,,,DMS), indicating indirect object or reference to a specific distant male person or entity.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the distant demonstrative force of ἐκεῖνος (“that one”) and reflects the dative masculine singular form with the prepositional sense “to.” It maintains distinction from the near demonstrative (“this one”).
