OET interlinear ACTs 17:23

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

βωμὸν ἐν ᾧ ἐπεγέγραπτο, ἀγνώστῳ Θεῷ

˓an˒_altar on which ˓had_been˒_inscribed ˱to˲_˓an˒_unknown God

While it would be preferable to present this as a direct quotation (See: next note), you could translate this as an indirect quotation so that there is not one direct quotation within another. Alternate translation: [an altar whose inscription dedicated it to an unknown god]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

βωμὸν ἐν ᾧ ἐπεγέγραπτο, ἀγνώστῳ Θεῷ

˓an˒_altar on which ˓had_been˒_inscribed ˱to˲_˓an˒_unknown God

Even if your language does not customarily put one direct quotation inside another, it would be good to present this as a direct quotation if possible, since it is the inscription on the altar that Paul is describing. You may be able to enclose this quotation in second-level quotation marks or use some other punctuation or convention that is available in your language to indicate a second-level quotation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐν ᾧ ἐπεγέγραπτο

on which ˓had_been˒_inscribed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [on which someone had inscribed]
