Translations: old man, an old man, elder, an elder, right hand, right side, on the right, to the right
From the root: ΠΡΕΣΒΥΣ, ΔΕΞΙΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun, Adjective
Explanation: This appears to be a compound or concatenated word, likely a misspelling or a transcription error of 'πρεσβύτῃ δεξιάν' (presbytē dexian) or 'πρεσβύτης δεξιάν' (presbytēs dexian). 'Πρεσβύτῃ' is the dative singular form of 'πρεσβύτης', meaning 'old man' or 'elder'. 'Δεξιάν' is the accusative singular feminine form of 'δεξιός', meaning 'right' or 'right hand/side'. If it is 'πρεσβύτῃ δεξιάν', it would mean 'to an old man, the right hand/side'. If it is 'πρεσβύτης δεξιάν', it would mean 'an old man, the right hand/side'. Given the example usage, 'ἐπὶ δεξιᾷ' (epi dexiā) meaning 'on the right' or 'to the right', it is highly probable that 'ΠΡΕΣΒΥΤΗΔΕΞΙΑΝ' is a garbled or misspelled form of 'πρεσβύτῃ' followed by 'δεξιάν' or 'δεξιᾷ'.
Inflection: Dative Singular Masculine (for ΠΡΕΣΒΥΤΗ), Accusative Singular Feminine (for ΔΕΞΙΑΝ)
