SIBI-P1 Translation G99237-01

was writing down

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe root καταγράφω combines "write" (γράφω) with the intensifier "down" (κατά), conveying the act of recording or inscribing. The imperfect active indicative, 3rd singular, denotes an ongoing past action, hence "was writing down."
