Sounds Like: khry-SOOS
Translations: golden, made of gold, gold, a gold coin, gold money
From the root: ΧΡΥΣΟΥΣ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Noun
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a very rare compound of the Koine Greek word ΧΡΥΣΟΥΣ (chrysous), meaning 'golden' or 'made of gold', possibly combined with the particle ΜΕΝ (men), which means 'indeed' or 'on the one hand'. In the provided context, it likely refers to 'golden objects' or 'gold coins', suggesting something valuable. The particle ΜΕΝ often introduces a clause that contrasts with a subsequent clause, but its combination here is unusual. It's most probable that the word is intended to be ΧΡΥΣΟΥΣ, referring to something golden or made of gold.
