SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
it has been written
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | SIBI-P1 'it has been inscribed' is too mechanical for γέγραπται in this context, which refers to what is written (i.e., Scripture). 'It has been written' is idiomatic and faithful to the Greek usage as per the silex_definition. |
