To speak, to say, or to express verbally; principally denotes the act of articulating or communicating information, statements, or ideas, whether in direct discourse, reporting, or narration.

SIBI-P1 Translation G3004-29
what has been said
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense (completed action with present result), passive voice, participle; neuter singular accusative. |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect passive participle denotes something that has been spoken with continuing relevance or result. Rendering it as "what has been said" preserves the passive voice, perfect aspect, and its likely substantival neuter singular form. |
