having approached
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (completed action), active voice, participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle denotes a completed act of intentional movement toward someone or something. "Having approached" preserves the root idea of directed motion (πρός + ἔρχομαι) and reflects the aorist participial form. |
