| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP): "of" + masculine plural leaders/governors. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive masculine plural form denotes possession or association, hence "of governors." The rendering preserves the root sense of one who leads or rules and reflects the plural genitive morphology. |
