Festus
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, accusative (Gr,N,,,,,AMS) — proper name functioning as accusative singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | This is a proper masculine personal name in the accusative singular; in English proper names do not change form for case, so "Festus" preserves the identity of the individual while reflecting its function as a direct object in Greek. |
