Words deeeoskol and ochepalain of 67v
In this post, I examine two words from folio 67v.
The first is ochepalain that can transcribe the Greek word ακεφαλειν, the infinitive of ἀκεφαλόω – remove the head.
To be honest, I haven’t found an example of this verb yet.
What I found is the verb κεφαλόω – to have a head and the word ἀκέφᾰλος – headless. I hope that ἀκεφαλόω can be found as well.
However, ἀκέφᾰλος means not only « headless, » but also « without beginning » or « degraded »; perhaps the verb could also have one of these meanings.
The second word to examine is « deeeoskol, » unique in the text.
I think it would be better to transcribe it as dcheoskol and I read it as 8hiosmoi and think it might transcribe the Greek word θειασμοί, plural of θειασμός – divine inspiration, superstition, omen.
