Exegesis
The verbless clause Hebraisti de Gabbatha {Ἑβραϊστὶ δὲ Γαββαθα | Hebraïstí dè Gabbathá} is understood to have an implied “it is,” a common idiom for naming. In translation, the participial structure akousas is rendered as a temporal clause (“after/when he heard”) for clarity, and the attributive participle legomenon is expressed with a relative clause (“called”), while both Greek place names are retained and briefly described to preserve historical specificity.
