SIBI-P1 Translation G4712-03
stadia
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AMP): denotes multiple units of the fixed-distance measure as a direct object or extent of space. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Stadia" preserves the specific Greek unit of fixed distance (about 185 meters) without replacing it with a later equivalent like "furlongs." The plural form reflects the accusative masculine plural morphology of the Greek noun. |
