  • Governors were under the authority of the king or emperor.

Translation Suggestions

  • The word "governor" can also be translated as “ruler” or "overseer" or "regional leader" or "one who rules over a small territory."
  • Depending on the context, the term "govern" could be translated as, "rule over" or "lead" or "manage" or supervise."
  • Since a governor was under the authority of a king or emperor and had less power and importance than those rulers, this term should be translated differently than those terms.
