Explanation: The word "ΑΒΕΙΣ" appears to be a misspelling or a garbled form of "ΕΥΛΑΒΕΙΣ" (eulabeis), which is an inflected form of the verb "ΕΥΛΑΒΕΩ" (eulabeō). This verb means to revere, to fear (in a respectful sense), to be devout, or to be cautious. It describes an attitude of reverence or carefulness towards someone or something, often in a religious context, implying a respectful awe or a prudent avoidance of harm. The provided examples clearly use forms of "ΕΥΛΑΒΕΩ" (eulabeō), such as "ΕΥΛΑΒΕΙΣΘΩ" (eulabeisthō) and "ΕΥΛΑΒΕΙΣΘΕ" (eulabeisthe), which reinforces that "ΑΒΕΙΣ" is likely a typo.
Inflection: Second Person Plural, Present, Indicative, Middle/Passive (if it were ΕΥΛΑΒΕΙΣ); or a misspelling of other forms.
