SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
Chios
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Of Chios' in P1 is not idiomatic; here it indicates position relative to the island, so just the proper noun 'Chios' is clearest in English context. Removed the genitival 'of' as Chios is simply the island being referenced. |
