grain-fed fattened one
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative masculine singular (restrictive adjective functioning substantivally). |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from σῖτος (grain) and denotes an animal specially fed to be fattened. The accusative masculine singular form is reflected by rendering it substantivally as "one," preserving its adjectival force applied to a masculine singular referent. |
