Translations: the foot of a mountain, the area under a mountain, through, by means of, on account of, fourteen
From the root: ΥΠΟΡΕΙΟΝ, ΔΙΑ
Part of Speech: Noun, Preposition, Numeral
Explanation: This word is a compound of "ΥΠΟΡΕΙΟΝ" and "ΔΙ'". "ΥΠΟΡΕΙΟΝ" refers to the area at the foot of a mountain or the region directly beneath it. The "ΔΙ'" part is most likely an elision of the preposition "ΔΙΑ" (DIA), which means "through," "by means of," or "on account of," depending on whether it takes a genitive or accusative case. Less commonly, "ΔΙ'" could also represent the Greek numeral for fourteen. Therefore, the combined word could mean "through the foot of the mountain" or "by means of the area under the mountain," or it could refer to "the foot of the mountain, fourteen."
Inflection: ΥΠΟΡΕΙΟΝ: Singular, Nominative or Accusative, Neuter. ΔΙ': Does not inflect as a preposition (though it governs case) or as a numeral.
