SIBI-P1 Translation G2398-01
one's own things
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (used substantivally/pronominally), accusative neuter plural (ANP); functioning as "one's own" referring to things. |
| Rendering Rationale | The neuter accusative plural form denotes things that belong to or are proper to oneself. "One's own things" preserves both the possessive force of the root ἰδ- and the plural neuter object form. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
own things
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 ('one's own things') is almost correct, but 'own things' more closely reflects the direct and compact rendering for ἴδια in this context, as 'homes' is an interpretive expansion not based strictly on the text. |
