| Morphological Notes | Gr,CS — subordinating conditional conjunction; introduces a conditional clause with emphatic force. As a conjunction, it carries no tense, voice, mood, case, gender, or number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The particle εἴπερ combines εἰ ("if") with the enclitic περ, which adds emphasis or strengthening. Rendering it as "if indeed it is so that" preserves both the core conditional force of εἰ and the intensified, confirmatory nuance contributed by περ. |
