he was able
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist; middle/passive form (deponent in meaning); indicative; 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist indicative expresses simple past ability as a factual event. Though morphologically passive in form, δύναμαι is deponent/middle in meaning, so it conveys active capacity: he possessed ability or power. |
