πτώματα
ptōma
dead bodies
Fallen object or body; most often, 'corpse' or 'dead body'—especially a body fallen in death or as the result of violence or decay. By extension, may refer more generally to anything that has collapsed or fallen into ruin (physical or metaphorical), but in Koine, typically denotes a lifeless human or animal body.

fallen bodies
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, nominative plural (also attested as accusative plural in identical form); denotes multiple objects functioning as subject or predicate. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "fallen bodies" preserves the root sense of something that has fallen (from πίπτω) while reflecting the common Koine meaning of lifeless bodies. The nominative neuter plural form is conveyed by the plural noun "bodies." |
