SIBI-P1 G3004-19

she having laid-forth (her word)

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist active participle; nominative feminine singular. The aorist participle denotes a completed action, typically antecedent to the main verb, and agrees with a feminine singular subject.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active participle (nominative feminine singular) is rendered "she having laid-forth" to reflect the completed action prior to the main verb. "Laid-forth" preserves the root sense of λέγω as setting forth words in ordered speech, rather than merely uttering sounds.
