Explanation: It's not clear what this word means. It appears to be a very rare or possibly garbled or badly misspelled word in Koine Greek, as it does not appear in standard lexicons. It seems to be a compound word, possibly combining a form of 'ἅπτομαι' (haptomai), meaning 'to touch' or 'to handle', with 'κόπος' (kopos), meaning 'toil', 'labor', or 'striking'. However, the combination 'ΗΠΤΕΤΟΚΟΠΟΣ' does not form a recognized word with a clear meaning in ancient Greek. Given the context provided, it might be a highly unusual or unique descriptive term, or more likely, a textual error.
