SIBI-P1 Translation G649-22
having commissioned
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active participle; nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAA,NMS); denotes a completed action functioning adjectivally or adverbially. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle denotes a completed act of purposeful dispatch. "Having commissioned" preserves the intensified sense of sending with authority inherent in ἀποστέλλω and reflects the nominative masculine singular participial form. |
