SIBI-P1 Translation G324-01
having taken upon himself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (completed action), middle voice (self-involved/reflexive), participle; nominative masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist middle participle indicates a completed act of deliberate reception performed with self-involvement. "Having taken upon himself" reflects both the intensified sense of active acceptance (ἀνα-) and the middle voice’s reflexive nuance. |
