SIBI-P1 G5426-06

be minding (yourselves) / you were minding

Morphological NotesVerb, either present middle/passive imperative, 2nd person plural (continuous command with reflexive or self-involving force), or imperfect active indicative, 2nd person plural (past ongoing action).
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the root idea of exercising the mind or setting one’s mindset (from φρήν, “mind”). "Be minding (yourselves)" reflects the present middle/passive imperative, second person plural—an ongoing command with reflexive nuance—while "you were minding" reflects the imperfect active indicative, second person plural, indicating past continuous mental disposition.
