ΤΗΝΣΑΜΟΣΑΤΩΝ, τηνσαμοσατων
TĒNSAMOSATŌN, tēnsamosatōn
Sounds Like: tay-sah-moh-SAH-tohn
Translations: of Samosata
From the root: ΣΑΜΟΣΑΤΑ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: This word is a compound of the definite article 'ΤΗΝ' (the) and the proper noun 'ΣΑΜΟΣΑΤΩΝ' (of Samosata). It refers to the city of Samosata, an ancient city on the Euphrates River, which was the capital of the Commagene kingdom. The form 'ΣΑΜΟΣΑΤΩΝ' is the genitive plural of 'Σαμόσατα', meaning 'of Samosata'. The preceding 'ΤΗΝ' is an accusative singular feminine article, which is unusual to be directly prefixed to a genitive plural proper noun. This suggests it might be a scribal error, a specific idiomatic construction, or perhaps 'ΤΗΝ' is meant to modify a preceding or implied feminine noun, with 'ΣΑΜΟΣΑΤΩΝ' then modifying that noun.
Inflection: Genitive, Plural
Unknown: Yes
