of those reclining together at table
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present middle participle, genitive masculine plural; denotes ongoing participation in reclining together at a meal, functioning adjectivally or substantivally in the genitive plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of reclining together (σύν + ἀνακεῖμαι) in a shared meal setting. The genitive masculine plural present middle participle is reflected by "of those" and the ongoing, participial sense "reclining together." |
