Γραφὴν
graphḗ
Scripture
Written text or writing, especially an official or authoritative document; in Hellenistic and early Roman contexts, chiefly refers to individual passages or entire bodies of sacred writing, particularly those recognized as authoritative among Israelite/Judean groups. The term refers generally to 'what is written' but becomes specialized in Jewish and early Christian usage for the text of the Hebrew scriptures or Septuagint.

SIBI-P1 Translation G1124-05
a written text
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative, feminine, singular (Gr,N,,,,,AFS); derived from γράφω with feminine noun ending -ή. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the noun’s derivation from "to write" and preserves its basic sense of something written. The accusative feminine singular form denotes a single written document functioning as a direct object, which English conveys without changing form. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
scripture
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The context is about biblical prophecy, so 'scripture' matches the technical sense of Γραφή best here. 'A written text' is too generic in this setting; adjusted for proper meaning. |
