  Petra, I started about fifteen years ago with the same ideas as you, today I take the words as they come.
  I know, my output is very low, I'm too slow, in 15 years I've only offered 3000 words without being able to link them into suitable sentences. 
  You might be faster than me.

  Rene, I can't be bothered by comments, even if I'm forced to concentrate my posts in a single thread. 
  Who knows what idea might advance my investigations?

  The first two words of the 8th line of 104v « tchodls cheeody » can be read as « bho8is kuo89 » or βότης κηώδης, for example.
  We can translate these words as « a fragrant plant » or « odorous oregano. »

  Can the two words in line 68 of 75v, « otol chckhey, » be read together, as obol(oi,a)kinu9?
  This word reminds me of the word ἀβακηνούς from Photius’s Lexicon.
  Photius’ explanation is « τοὺς γυναικὶ μὴ ὁμιλήσαντας », which I translated as – who has not become accustomed to women, based on the word αϐακηνος of the Thesauros tes hellenikes glosses* – qui cum muliere non consuevit.
  Another interpretation of the αϐακηνος is « ο μη ομιλησας γυναικι ».
  The words ὁμιλήσαντας and ομιλησας are both conjugated forms of the verb ὁμιλέω :
  

  • to be in company with, consort with;
    
  • in hostile sense, join battle with;
    
  • of social intercourse, hold converse with, be acquainted with, associate with;
    
  • to be friends;
    
  • speak to, address;
    
  • of marriage or sexual intercourse;
    
  • of things or business which one has to do with, attend to, busy oneself with;
    
  • deal with a man, bear oneself towards him;
    
  • of place, come into, enter, visit.
    

  
  The exact meaning is not very clear at the moment, without mastering the context.

  A few years ago, I attempted to understand the word EVA kolkedy on page 75v, unique in the text, without many cognates.
  I proposed the reading νανωδης – dwarfish, ill-proportioned.
  Currently, I think there is no reason to read « ol » only as « a »; this combination should also be considered « oi. »
  In this case, the word can be read noini89, and transcribe, for example, the Greek word νῆνιδος or νῆνιδες, genitive or plural of νῆνις, att. for νεᾶνις – girl, maiden; of a young married woman; as adj., youthful, new.

  The first two words of line 24 of 115v « pcheo cheeody » can be read as φυος κειωδης – fragrant plant.

  Words pokain okeedy
  The first two words of line 43 of 75v are « pokain okeedy » and I read them as « πονεῖν ὄνειδος ».
  Can they be translated as « to suffer shame, disgrace »?

  A few words from 115v
  This is my second attempt to understand the meaning of line 13 of 115v: « pchdarody pcheed.rar tcheody polched lpchdy tol.rchees cphor orair.kol ».
  A few years ago I assumed it was a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
  My reading has evolved slightly since then and currently I read the first four words EVA « pchdarody pcheed.rar tcheody » as three Greek words: φθορώδης φύτρας βίοτος – life of corrupt nature.
  
  My next suggestion is to read the last two words « orair kol » as one: orairma – ὡράϊσμα – adornment; refinement; with notion of effeminacy and affectation; beauty, grace.
