SIBI-P1 Translation G5260-01
they covertly introduced
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past), active voice, indicative mood, 3rd person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, third person plural, calls for a simple past active rendering, "they introduced." The adverb "covertly" preserves the ὑπο- prefix’s sense of secrecy or underhanded action inherent in the compound root. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
they secretly induced
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The context involves instigation by stealth; 'secretly induced' (the SILEX 'common' and a standard rendering) fits the legal and covert context better than the more mechanical 'covertly introduced'. |
