Sounds Like: ES-bay

Translations: embassy, delegation, message, old age

From the root: ΠΡΕΣΒΕΙΑ

Part of Speech: Noun

Explanation: The word "ΕΣΒΕΙ" appears to be a misspelling or a garbled form of a Koine Greek word, most likely related to "πρεσβεία" (presbeia) or "πρέσβυς" (presbys). "Πρεσβεία" refers to an embassy, a delegation, or the office of an ambassador. It can also refer to old age or seniority. In the context of the provided examples, it seems to relate to a delegation or an elder. It is used to describe a group of people sent on a mission or the status of being an elder.

Inflection: Singular, Dative, Feminine (if from πρεσβεία); or potentially a miswritten form of another word.
