stadion-lengths

Rootστάδιον (stadion)
Core Meaningsfixed measure of distance, race-course, stadium, running-track length
Semantic Rangea standard unit of distance (approximately 600 Greek feet), the length of a race-course, a stadium structure, by extension a measured stretch or course
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical texts, the stadion serves as a culturally recognizable unit of measured space in the Greco-Roman world, grounding narratives in tangible geography and emphasizing real, traversable distances in events such as journeys or visionary descriptions.
Morphological NotesNoun, accusative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AMP,). Functions as a direct object or accusative of extent, denoting multiple units of distance.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering "stadion-lengths" preserves the root idea of a fixed, established measure derived from the concept of something set or fixed (from the base of ἵστημι, "to stand/set"). The plural form reflects the accusative masculine plural morphology, indicating multiple units of measured distance as the direct object or extent of space traversed.
