Sounds Like: Unknown
Translations: unknown
From the root: ἈΣΘΕΝΗΣ, ΦΑΡΜΑΚΟΝ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of two distinct Koine Greek words: Ἀσθενής (asthenes), meaning 'weak' or 'sick', and Φάρμακον (pharmakon), meaning 'drug', 'medicine', or 'poison'. However, 'ἈΣΘΕΝΗΣΕΙΦΑΡΜΑΚΟΝ' itself is not a recognized word in Koine Greek. It is highly probable that this is a transcription error, a misspelling, or a unique, non-standard compound created in the text. It's not clear what this word means as a single unit. It could be garbled or badly misspelled. If it were intended to be a compound, it might conceptually refer to a 'medicine for the weak' or a 'weakening drug', but this is speculative.
