to one
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; dative masculine singular of εἷς (cardinal numeral "one"). |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
one
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The correct contextual rendering is simply 'one'; P1 'to one' is not accurate since the preposition ἐν already supplies the sense of location/instrument, and ἑνί here is just 'one'. |
