SIBI-P1 Translation G752-05
of the synagogue chief
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine, singular, genitive (Gr,N,,,,,GMS) — denotes possession, source, or association with a single male office-holder. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the compound meaning "chief" (ἀρχι-) and "assembly/synagogue leader" (συνάγωγος). The genitive singular form is preserved by the English construction "of the," indicating possession or association. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
synagogue chief
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'of the synagogue chief' is partly correct, but since the preceding 'of the' already covers the genitive, the word here should simply be 'synagogue chief' to preserve one-to-one mapping. The context is clear without repeating 'of the'. |
