SIBI-P1 Translation G1746-05
having clothed himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist tense, middle voice, participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist participle conveys a completed action, and the middle voice indicates reflexive involvement, thus "having clothed himself." This preserves the root sense of entering into garments while reflecting the nominative masculine singular participial form. |
