bath measures
| Morphological Notes | Noun; accusative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AMP) — direct object form, plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the specific ancient liquid unit "bath" rather than generalizing to "measures," and the plural form reflects the accusative masculine plural morphology. |
