Word EVA ararchodaiin
The single word ararchodaiin on page 89r1 serves as a label for a centipede-like plant.

If we readYou are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., the word ararchodaiin can be ἀραρότων, gen pl of ἀραρώς/ ἀραρός, perfect active participle masc/ neut of ἀραρίσκω.
There is no single, unquestionable meaning for the verb ἀραρίσκω, which is why the label could mean:

• of fixed/secured (things),
  
• of furnished/ provided/ equipped (things),
  
• of articulated/jointed (things),
  
• of solid/stable (things),
  
• of fitting/ suitable/ appropriate (things).
  

We should therefore first understand the meaning of the image in order to understand the meaning of the label.
