SIBI-P1 Translation G21037-01
the more-well-born ones
| Morphological Notes | Gr,NP,,,,NMPC = adjective, nominative masculine plural, comparative degree; used substantively to refer to a group characterized as comparatively well-born or noble. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective εὐγενής combines εὖ (well) and γένος (birth, kind), meaning “well-born” or “noble.” The form εὐγενέστεροι is nominative masculine plural comparative, so "the more-well-born ones" preserves both the comparative sense ("more") and the masculine plural nominative form functioning substantively. |

| Rationale | P1 is faithful; while 'more noble' is idiomatic, the underlying 'well-born' captures the root meaning per SILEX, so keep the P1 rendering for root fidelity. |
