This verb means to inscribe in an official register or list, used for enrollment in public records. First Timothy 5:9 instructs that a widow may 'be enrolled' (passive imperative) in the church's support list only if she meets specific qualifications. Classical usage shows the word for military muster rolls, civic registers, and detailed narrative recounting. The passive voice emphasizes official action—she is to be placed on the list by the church. Spanish 'sea inscrita' and German 'einschreiben' capture the formal registration idea. This technical term reflects early Christian organizational practices for widow support.
