SIBI-P1 Translation G3708-07
they saw
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, third person plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, third person plural form denotes a simple, completed act of seeing performed by multiple subjects. "They saw" preserves the primary root sense of physical sight while allowing the broader perceptive nuance inherent in ὁράω. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
I saw
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The verb is first person singular; P1 'they saw' is incorrect—should be 'I saw' for context and Greek form. |
| P1 Flag | P1 rendered in wrong person (should be 1st singular rather than 3rd plural). |
