SIBI-P1 Translation G4017-03
he was looking around himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), middle voice (reflexive/self-involved), indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The imperfect indicative conveys ongoing past action (“was looking”), while the middle voice adds reflexive or self-involved nuance (“around himself”). The compound prefix περί preserves the sense of looking in all directions. |
