Explanation: This word appears to be a proper noun, likely a name. However, it is not a recognized Koine Greek word or a common variant of known biblical names. Given the context provided, which refers to the King of Sodom, it is highly probable that "ΣΑΥΗ" is a misspelling or a garbled form of the name of the King of Sodom, who is typically identified as Bera (ΒΕΡΡΑ) or Balla (ΒΑΛΛΑ) in the Septuagint (LXX). It is not clear what this specific word means or refers to if it is not a misspelling.
