they carried-on-trade-for-themselves

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple past, viewed as a complete action); middle voice (self-involving or for one’s own interest); indicative mood (statement of fact); 3rd person plural ("they").
Rendering RationaleThe verb διαπραγματεύομαι combines διά (through, thoroughly) with πραγματεύομαι (to engage in business or affairs), conveying active commercial engagement. The aorist middle indicative, third person plural (IAM3P), is reflected by the simple past "they carried on" and the middle voice nuance "for themselves," indicating personal involvement or vested interest in the action.
