ΜΗΘΥΜΝΗΕΤΕΡΑ, μηθυμνηετερα
MĒTHYMNĒETERA, mēthymnēetera
Sounds Like: meh-THOOM-nee-eh-TEH-rah
Translations: Methymna, of Methymna, Methymnian
From the root: ΜΗΘΥΜΝΗ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Adjective
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a highly inflected form related to 'Μηθύμνη' (Methymna), an ancient city on the island of Lesbos. The ending '-ετερα' is highly unusual and suggests a possible misspelling or a very rare or obscure grammatical construction, perhaps indicating 'another Methymna' or 'the other Methymna' (from 'ἑτέρα' meaning 'other' or 'another'). It could refer to something or someone from Methymna, or a second instance of something related to Methymna. Given the context, it likely refers to a text, work, or location associated with Methymna.
Inflection: Singular, Feminine, Nominative or Accusative (if referring to a text or work), potentially a compound with 'ἑτέρα'
Unknown: Yes

- Exhortation to the Greeks (Protrepticus) — 2:113
