| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; accusative neuter plural form in parsing, but ἑκατόν functions as an indeclinable cardinal numeral. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma denotes the exact cardinal number 100. Though marked accusative neuter plural in form, ἑκατόν is an indeclinable numeral; "one hundred" preserves the precise quantitative value without adding contextual elements. |
