Sounds Like: eh-PEH-stel-len-KES-tee-oh
Translations: he was sending, and, it is
From the root: ΕΠΙΣΤΕΛΛΩ, ΚΑΙ, ΕΣΤΙ
Part of Speech: Verb, Conjunction, Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a garbled or misspelled compound of three separate Koine Greek words: ἐπέστελλεν (epestellen), meaning 'he/she/it was sending a message' or 'he/she/it was writing'; καὶ (kai), meaning 'and'; and ἔστι (esti), meaning 'it is'. The combination 'ἘΠΕΣΤΕΛΛΕΝΚΕΣΤΙΩ' is not a standard Koine Greek word. It is highly probable that this is a transcription error or a corruption of the original text. If it were intended to be a single word, its meaning would be nonsensical in standard Greek.
Inflection: Imperfect Active Indicative, 3rd Person Singular (for ἐπέστελλεν); Does not inflect (for καὶ); Present Active Indicative, 3rd Person Singular (for ἔστι)
