SIBI-P1 Translation G1241-02
thoroughly girded
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple completed action), active voice, indicative mood, third person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, third person singular, denotes a completed action in past time: "girded." The compound with διά intensifies the action, so "thoroughly girded" reflects the root sense of fastening securely and completely. |
