SIBI-P1 Translation G4779-03
having summoned together
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist, middle voice, participle, nominative masculine singular — describing a male subject who has completed the act of summoning together. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the compound sense of "call together" (σύν + καλέω) and reflects the aorist participle as a completed action. The middle voice conveys the subject’s direct involvement or initiative in convening the group. |
