Alternatively, it can be an inflected form of the verb 'δέω' (deo), meaning 'to bind' or 'to tie.' In this verbal sense, 'ΕΔΕΝ' would typically represent a past tense form, such as 'they were binding' or 'they were bound,' depending on the voice. The context of the sentence is crucial for determining the correct meaning.
