having descended
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle denotes a completed act of moving downward. "Having descended" preserves the root sense of going down (κατά + βαίνω) and reflects the nominative masculine singular participial form. |
