SIBI-P1 Translation G1279-04

was journeying through

Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense (past ongoing), middle voice (deponent), indicative mood, 3rd person singular.
Rendering RationaleThe imperfect indicative denotes ongoing past action, rendered as "was journeying." The compound root δια- (through) + πορεύομαι (to travel) is preserved with "through," reflecting movement across or through an क्षेत्र; the middle voice is deponent and does not require separate reflexive expression in English.
