Sounds Like: ef-EV-gon-EP-ee
Translations: they were fleeing upon, they were fleeing to, they were fleeing against
From the root: ΦΕΥΓΩ, ΕΠΙ
Part of Speech: Verb, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two words, 'ἐφεῦγον' (eph-eu-gon) and 'ἐπί' (epi), likely concatenated without a space. 'Ἐφεῦγον' is the imperfect active indicative, third person plural, of the verb 'φεύγω' (pheugō), meaning 'to flee' or 'to escape'. 'Ἐπί' is a preposition meaning 'upon', 'to', 'against', 'on', or 'at', depending on the case of the noun it governs. Therefore, the combined phrase would mean 'they were fleeing upon/to/against'. This construction suggests movement towards or against something.
Inflection: Imperfect, Active, Indicative, Third Person Plural (for ἐφεῦγον); Does not inflect (for ἐπί, though it governs different cases)
