Word EVA choleey
The single word choleey serves as a label for a nymph on the page Leo (f72v3.21,@Lz><!10:30).

This word could be read in Greek as:
Perhaps the term « lameness » as « claudication »—in the context of health or as a description of a specific divine being?
Or should it be understood figuratively, as « imperfection » or « weakness »?
I also noticed a detail in the image. I used to be convinced that the nymphs were each holding a star; however, in the image, the nymph I take to be « Choleey » is neither holding nor touching any star, whereas the one next to her on the right is holding two.
