ΗΓΕΜΟΝΩΝΓΡΑΦΕΙΝ, ηγεμονωνγραφειν
ĒGEMONŌNGRAPHEIN, ēgemonōngraphein
Sounds Like: heh-geh-mo-NOHN-grah-FEIN
Translations: of leaders, of governors, to write, to record
From the root: ΗΓΕΜΩΝ, ΓΡΑΦΩ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word or, more likely, two separate words concatenated without a space: 'ΗΓΕΜΟΝΩΝ' (hegemonon) and 'ΓΡΑΦΕΙΝ' (graphein). 'ΗΓΕΜΟΝΩΝ' is the genitive plural of 'ΗΓΕΜΩΝ' (hegemon), meaning 'leader' or 'governor'. 'ΓΡΑΦΕΙΝ' is the present active infinitive of 'ΓΡΑΦΩ' (grapho), meaning 'to write' or 'to record'. Therefore, the combined meaning would be 'to write of leaders' or 'to record the deeds of governors'. It is highly probable that this is a transcription error where the space between the two words was omitted.
Inflection: ΗΓΕΜΟΝΩΝ: Plural, Genitive, Masculine; ΓΡΑΦΕΙΝ: Present, Active, Infinitive
