SIBI-P1 G3377-01
he disclosed (made-known by report)
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,). The aorist presents the action as a completed event in past time, with the subject actively carrying out the disclosure. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, third person singular form ἐμήνυσεν denotes a simple past action performed by the subject. "He disclosed (made-known by report)" preserves the core sense of μηνύω as making something known through intentional reporting, while accurately reflecting the aorist (completed action), active voice (subject performing the action), indicative mood (statement of fact), and singular subject. |
