SIBI-P1 Translation G4010-02
Pergamos
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); proper toponym functioning as a direct object. |
| Rendering Rationale | In the New Testament the term functions exclusively as the proper name of the Hellenistic city Pergamos. The accusative feminine singular form indicates it as the direct object, but in English proper names do not change form by case, so "Pergamos" preserves both identity and usage. |
