| Morphological Notes | Gr,PI,,,,G,,, = improper preposition (indeclinable) governing the genitive case. It functions adverbially or prepositionally to denote position or sequence relative to a genitive object. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "at-the-back-of" preserves the core spatial sense of ὀπίσω as being positioned behind or to the rear of someone or something. The morphology identifies it as a preposition governing the genitive, so the translation reflects its relational force toward a following genitive complement ("of"). |
