ΑΡΠΑΞʼ, αρπαξʼ
ARPAXʼ, arpaxʼ
Sounds Like: AR-pax
Translations: rapacious, ravenous, extortioner, robber, a robber
From the root: ΑΡΠΑΞ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Noun
Explanation: This word describes someone or something that is greedy, grasping, or predatory. It can be used as an adjective to describe a quality, or as a noun to refer to a person who exhibits such behavior, often an extortioner or robber. The final apostrophe (keraia) indicates that this word is being used as a numeral, representing the number 1000, but in the provided context, it is clearly a word, so the apostrophe is likely a scribal mark or a misinterpretation of a coronis (elision marker) which is not applicable here, or simply a keraia used incorrectly.
