SIBI-P1 Translation G4238-22
having carried out
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist active participle, nominative masculine plural (Gr,V,PAA,NMP); denotes completed action by masculine plural subjects functioning adjectivally or substantivally. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle conveys a completed action in participial form, best rendered in English as "having carried out." This preserves the πραγ- root sense of executing or practicing an action while reflecting the nominative masculine plural participial morphology. |
