SIBI-P1 G1605-05
they were being struck out of themselves
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), passive voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. The imperfect highlights repeated or continuous astonishment in past narrative context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb ἐκπλήσσω combines ἐκ ("out of") with πλήσσω ("to strike"), conveying the image of being struck out from one’s normal state. The imperfect passive indicative (3rd person plural) indicates an ongoing past action received by the subject, hence "they were being struck," preserving both the passive voice and the continuous aspect. |
