SIBI-P1 Translation G498-01
sets himself against
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), middle voice (reflexive/self-involving), indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root sense of τάσσω (to arrange, set in order) combined with ἀντί (against), preserving the reflexive middle voice as "sets himself against." The present indicative, third singular, conveys an ongoing or characteristic act of self-positioning in opposition. |
