having existed for a long time, long-standing; in reference to objects or things, 'old' or 'ancient' as opposed to recent or new; in certain contexts, may designate something obsolete, worn out, or outmoded due to age.

ancient ones
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, accusative masculine plural (Gr,AA,,,,AMP); attributive form modifying or substantivally describing masculine plural objects. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root sense of belonging to former times or long-standing. The accusative masculine plural form is preserved in English by using the plural expression "ones," maintaining number while keeping the adjectival force. |
