SIBI-P1 Translation G1564-01
from there
| Morphological Notes | Adverb of place (Gr,D); indeclinable; formed from ἐκεῖ (there) + -θεν (indicating origin or source). |
| Rendering Rationale | The suffix -θεν denotes motion or origin from a place, so the adverb expresses movement or source away from 'there.' "From there" directly preserves this directional and locative force without adding contextual nuance. |
