SIBI-P1 Translation G2718-04
we descended
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past), active voice, indicative mood, 1st person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative first person plural denotes a completed past action performed by "we." "We descended" preserves the compound sense of movement downward inherent in κατέρχομαι without adding contextual nuance. |
