EIASPIS, eiaspis
Sounds Like: AS-pis
Translations: shield, a shield
From the root: ΑΣΠΙΣ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: The word "ΕΙΑΣΠΙΣ" appears to be a misspelling or a variant of the Koine Greek word "ΑΣΠΙΣ" (aspis), which means 'shield'. It refers to a large, round shield used in ancient warfare, typically made of wood and covered with leather or bronze. It was primarily used for defense in combat. The initial 'EI' prefix is not standard for this word, suggesting a possible scribal error or a very rare, non-standard form. The explanation provided here assumes it is intended to mean 'shield'.
