Translations: unknown
From the root: ΑΚΟΛΑΣΙΑ, ΕΥΣΕΒΕΙΑ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word formed by concatenating two distinct Koine Greek words: 'ἈΚΟΛΑΣΙΑΝ' (akolasian) and 'ΕΥ̓ΣΕΒΕΙΑΝ' (eusebeian). It is highly probable that this is a transcription error or a typo, as these two words would typically be separated by a space. 'ἈΚΟΛΑΣΙΑΝ' means 'licentiousness, wantonness, intemperance, debauchery' and is the accusative singular of 'ἈΚΟΛΑΣΙΑ'. 'ΕΥ̓ΣΕΒΕΙΑΝ' means 'piety, godliness, reverence' and is the accusative singular of 'ΕΥ̓ΣΕΒΕΙΑ'. Therefore, if this were two separate words, it would mean 'licentiousness, godliness'. It is not clear what this combined word means, as it is not a recognized Koine Greek word.
