ΓΑΡΠΟΛΙΣ, γαρπολις
GARPOLIS, garpolis
Sounds Like: GAR-po-lis
Translations: unknown
From the root: ΓΑΡΠΟΛΙΣ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a unique, possibly garbled, combination of Greek words. It is not a recognized word in standard Koine Greek lexicons. It seems to combine 'γάρ' (gar), meaning 'for' or 'indeed', with 'πόλις' (polis), meaning 'city'. However, 'γάρ' is a postpositive particle and would not typically be prefixed to a noun in this manner to form a compound word. It's possible it's a very rare or regional dialectal form, or a scribal error. Given the context, it might be intended to mean something like 'for the city' or 'indeed, the city', but as a single word, it is not standard.
