From the root: ΕΠΙΓΡΑΦΩ, ΣΚΥΘΡΩΠΟΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Adjective
Explanation: This appears to be a compound or concatenated phrase formed by the aorist passive infinitive of the verb 'Ἐπιγράφω' (epigraphō), meaning 'to be inscribed' or 'to be registered,' and the dative singular masculine/neuter of the adjective 'Σκυθρωπός' (skythrōpos), meaning 'gloomy' or 'sad.' The phrase would therefore mean 'to be inscribed gloomily' or 'to be registered with a sad countenance.' It describes an action of recording or registering something, but with an accompanying sense of sadness or gloom.
