having been fully assimilated
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense, passive voice, participle; nominative masculine singular — indicating a male subject in a completed state of having been made like. |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect passive participle denotes a completed action with ongoing result, so "having been fully assimilated" reflects both the intensified sense of ἀπο- (full resemblance) and the passive state of having been made like another. |
