SIBI-P1 Translation G923-01
Son-of-Sabbas
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, accusative (Gr,N,,,,,AMS) |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from Aramaic bar (“son of”) plus a personal name (Sabbas/Tsaba), so rendering it as “Son-of-Sabbas” preserves its patronymic root meaning. The accusative singular masculine form does not alter the English form but reflects its grammatical role as a direct object. |
