ἘΠΙΩΝΤΗΝ, ἐπιωντην
EPIŌNTĒN, epiōntēn
Sounds Like: ep-ee-OHN-tayn
Translations: going upon, coming upon, advancing upon, the one going upon, the one coming upon
From the root: ΕΠΕΙΜΙ
Part of Speech: Verb, Participle, Article
Explanation: This word is a compound form. It appears to be a combination of the preposition 'ἐπί' (epi, 'upon, to'), the present active participle of 'εἶμι' (eimi, 'to go'), and the definite article 'τήν' (tēn, 'the', accusative feminine singular). The form 'ἐπιών' means 'going upon' or 'coming upon'. When combined with 'τήν', it likely refers to 'the one going upon' or 'the one coming upon', often implying an advance or attack. It describes an action of movement towards something or someone, often with a purpose.
Inflection: Present, Active, Participle, Masculine, Nominative, Singular (for ἐπιών); Definite Article, Feminine, Accusative, Singular (for τήν). The combination suggests 'the one (masculine) who is going/coming upon (feminine accusative object)'. However, given the context, it's highly probable that 'ἘΠΙΩΝΤΗΝ' is a misspelling or a scribal error for 'ἘΠΙΟΝΤΑ ΤΗΝ' (accusative masculine participle + accusative feminine article) or 'ἘΠΙΟΝΤΙ ΤΗΝ' (dative masculine participle + accusative feminine article), or even 'ἘΠΙΟΝΤΕΣ ΤΗΝ' (nominative plural masculine participle + accusative feminine article). It is most likely a garbled form of 'ἐπιόντα' (accusative masculine singular participle of 'ἐπειμι') followed by 'τήν' (the accusative feminine singular article), which would mean 'the one coming upon the (feminine noun)'.
