at that time
| Morphological Notes | Adverb; indeclinable temporal marker indicating a specific point or occasion within a sequence. |
| Rendering Rationale | "At that time" most directly reflects the compound sense of "the when," anchoring an action to a specific, identified moment within a sequence. As an adverb, it functions temporally without inflection, marking a defined point in time. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
then
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'At that time' is contextually accurate, but the Greek adverb 'τότε' is most often rendered as 'then' in narrative sequence. Using 'then' fits the immediate context and preserves conciseness. SILEX definition allows both; opting for the more direct 'then' in discourse progression. |
