SIBI-P1 Translation G2688-01

in a settled condition

Morphological NotesNoun, dative singular, neuter (Gr,N,,,,,DNS); denotes the result or state of being set or established, functioning here in the dative case.
Rendering RationaleThe noun κατάστημα denotes a state or condition that has been set in place (from καθίστημι, "to set/appoint"). The dative singular form καταστήματι is reflected by the prepositional phrase "in a settled condition," preserving both the result-state nuance of the -μα suffix and the dative case sense.
