SIBI-P1 Translation G1614-01
having stretched out
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active participle; nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAA,NMS); denotes a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active participle denotes a completed action prior to or attendant with the main verb, so "having stretched out" preserves both the completed aspect and the outward-extending root sense of ἐκτείνω. The nominative masculine singular form reflects a male subject performing the action. |
