ἈΜΥΝΕΙΝΜΕΝ, ἀμυνεινμεν
AMYNEINMEN, amyneinmen
Sounds Like: ah-MOO-nayn-men
Translations: to ward off, to defend, to help, to assist
From the root: ἈΜΥΝΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or a very rare grammatical construction of the infinitive form of the verb 'ἀμύνω' (amuno), meaning 'to ward off' or 'to defend', combined with the enclitic particle 'μέν' (men). The particle 'μέν' often indicates a contrast or emphasizes a preceding word, but its direct attachment to an infinitive in this manner is highly unusual in Koine Greek. It is more probable that 'ἀμύνειν' (to ward off) is intended, with 'μέν' appearing separately or being a scribal error.
Inflection: Present, Active, Infinitive (with an unusual enclitic particle)
Strong’s number: G0297 (Lookup on BibleHub)
Unknown: Yes

Josephus' The Jewish War
