SIBI-P1 Translation G2719-03
having completely devoured
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist active participle, nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAA,NMS): completed action, active voice, functioning adjectivally or substantivally, agreeing with a masculine singular nominative referent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle denotes a completed act of thorough consumption. The intensifying prefix κατά conveys totality, so "completely devoured" preserves the root sense of eating down entirely, while "having" reflects the participial aspect. |
