Exegesis
The relative clause ho estin methermeneuomenon {ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον | hó é-stin me-ther-mē-neu-Ó-me-non} is explanatory, introduced by the neuter relative pronoun ho, with a periphrastic construction (estin + participle) that presents the interpretation as a standing explanation rather than a one-time event.
In context — Mark 15:22
And they bring Him to the place called Golgotha , which is translated, Place of a Skull.
