SIBI-P1 G2264-04
of Herod (the heroic one)
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,); proper name Ἡρῴδης in the genitive case indicating possession, source, or association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form Ἡρῴδου is genitive masculine singular, indicating possession or association, thus "of Herod." The parenthetical "the heroic one" reflects the name’s etymological sense (from hērōs, hero, and eidos, form/appearance) while preserving its function as a proper name. |
