δεδεμένον
déō
bound
To tie, bind, or fasten with physical or figurative constraints. At its core, δέω indicates the act of binding with rope, cords, or similar means—either literally (to fasten together, tie up, chain, fetter) or figuratively (to restrain, confine obligations, or establish a legal, moral, or spiritual bond or duty). In legal and metaphorical contexts, it extends to 'binding' someone with laws, oaths, or conditions, or to being 'bound' by duty or necessity.

SIBI-P1 Translation G1210-05
having been bound
| Morphological Notes | Verb, perfect tense, passive voice, participle; nominative neuter singular (also attested as accusative masculine singular in other occurrences). |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect passive participle denotes something that stands in the state resulting from a completed act of binding. "Having been bound" preserves both the passive voice and the perfect aspect, indicating a present condition of restraint from a prior binding. |
