they were added
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed past), passive voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist passive indicative, third person plural, denotes a completed action in which the subjects received the action of being placed in addition to something. "They were added" preserves both the passive voice and the core idea of being joined or appended. |
