SIBI-P1 Translation G4402-01
Prochoros
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative singular; masculine (Gr,N,,,,,AMS). |
| Rendering Rationale | As a proper masculine noun in the accusative singular, the form functions as the direct object of an action. The rendering preserves the personal name itself, since its lexical force in the New Testament is that of a proper name, with its etymological sense ('leader of the dance') remaining implicit. |
