Greek term

οντότητα αυθύπαρκτη στο χώρο και συνεχή στο χρόνο

Greek to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
Επομένως νομική προσωπικότητα είναι η ικανότητα δικαίου, που απονέμεται από το νόμο σε οργανισμούς που επιδιώκουν ορισμένο σκοπό, οι οποίοι ανάγονται έτσι σε αυτοτελείς φορείς δικαιωμάτων και υποχρεώσεων, δηλαδή σε νομικά πρόσωπα με χωριστή περιουσία από αυτή των μελών τους, που τους προσδίδει οντότητα αυθύπαρκτη στο χώρο και συνεχή στο χρόνο.

After doing further research, I have found that the word ‘entity’ can also be precisely synonymous with ‘beingness’, so I must therefore agree with Nadia that ‘entity’ is at least an equally suitable choice.

An alternative to ‘beingness (or entity) self-existent in space’ (in my opinion) is: ‘spatially self-existent beingness (or entity)’.

And, as the Internet results for ‘self-existent entity’ are far more than for ‘self-existent beingness’, I think that we must conclude that ‘entity’ is the better word to use in this case.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Nadia-Anastasia Fahmi : Entity // I disagree since it refers to a legal person (νομική προσωπικότητα / νομικά πρόσωπα) and, therefore, "independent entity" and not "self-existent beigness"

As you will see from the new note that I have just added to my answer, I now agree with you that 'entity' is the better word to use in this case. Thank you for your input! :)
