SIBI-P1 Translation G1520-04
to one
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; dative masculine singular of εἷς (cardinal numeral "one"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἑνὶ is dative masculine singular of εἷς, denoting a single individual or unit. Rendering it as "to one" preserves both the core numeral meaning and the dative case relationship without adding contextual assumptions. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
one
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'to one' is inaccurate; ἑνί here is dative meaning 'in one (point/law)'. The direct rendering 'one' is sufficient and avoids adding words. Context demands the number; the preposition 'in' comes from previous word. |
