SIBI-P1 Translation G395-03

of the risings

Morphological NotesNoun, genitive feminine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GFP): indicating "of" something; feminine gender; plural number.
Rendering RationaleThe genitive plural form denotes possession or source and preserves the plural sense of multiple risings or eastern points. Rendering it as "of the risings" retains the core idea of upward emergence (as of the sun) rather than reducing it to the abstract directional term "east."

SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

east

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleThe context requires the directional meaning, 'east', which is supported by SILEX for 'ἀνατολῶν'; 'of the risings' is too literal for this passage.
