    In 1 Corinthians 10:5, κατεστρώθησαν is a third-person plural aorist passive indicative in the statement about most of the people after God did not delight in them; the APB renders the clause “they were thrown down in the deserted place.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Corinthians 10:5, the APB presents the clause as “they were thrown down in the deserted place.” This identifies the verse-level presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
