SIBI-P1 G4687-01

the one/thing having-been-sown

Morphological NotesVerb, perfect passive participle, accusative singular (masculine or neuter). The perfect tense indicates a completed sowing with ongoing results; passive voice marks the subject as having received the action of sowing.
Rendering RationaleThe form ἐσπαρμένον is a perfect passive participle in the accusative singular (masculine or neuter). "Having-been-sown" preserves the perfect tense (completed action with abiding result) and the passive voice (acted upon), while "the one/thing" reflects its substantival participial force in the accusative singular, adaptable to masculine or neuter agreement.
