ΠΛΗΘΟΣἘΠΕΙΘΕΝ, πληθοσἐπειθεν
PLĒTHOSEPEITHEN, plēthosepeithen
Sounds Like: PLEH-thos EH-PEY-then
Translations: multitude, a multitude, crowd, a crowd, great number, was persuading, used to persuade
From the root: ΠΛΗΘΟΣ, ΠΕΙΘΩ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Explanation: This word appears to be a concatenation or misspelling of two separate Koine Greek words: ΠΛΗΘΟΣ (plēthos), meaning 'multitude' or 'crowd', and ἘΠΕΙΘΕΝ (epeithen), which is the imperfect tense of the verb πείθω (peithō), meaning 'to persuade'. Therefore, the combined form would mean 'the multitude was persuading' or 'the crowd used to persuade'. It is not a single inflected word but rather two distinct words joined together, likely due to a scribal error or lack of spacing.
Inflection: ΠΛΗΘΟΣ: Singular, Nominative or Accusative, Neuter. ἘΠΕΙΘΕΝ: Imperfect Active Indicative, Third Person Singular.
