as Rene said, it is not clear that the spelling 'ahia' is documented
the word in 116v is closer to 'abia' (no descender and possibly closed lower loop)
Since Greek "g" is a fricative, it being represented by "h" would not be too far fetched. However, if it is really a "B", then a corruption of "hagia" seems much more unlikely. I'm not quite sure the loop is closed, but if you say it is closer to "abia" then I trust your judgement. It's a shame, finally something that seemed to make sense.
