SIBI-P1 G2521-12

of the one having-seated-himself

Morphological NotesGr,V,PPM,GMS = Verb, Perfect, Middle, Participle; Genitive Masculine Singular. The perfect tense expresses a settled state resulting from a prior act of sitting; the middle voice reflects subject participation in the action; genitive case marks possession, description, or relation.
Rendering RationaleThe lemma κάθημαι is a perfect middle (deponent) verb conveying the state of being seated. The form καθημένου is a perfect middle participle, genitive masculine singular, so the rendering "of the one having-seated-himself" preserves the perfect aspect (a completed action with present state), the middle voice (self-involvement), the participial force ("the one..."), and the genitive case ("of").
