Translations: was being pushed, was being thrust, was being driven
From the root: ΟΘΕΩ
Part of Speech: Verb
Explanation: This word is an inflected form of a verb, likely meaning 'to push' or 'to thrust'. The form 'ΩΝΔΙΩΘΕΙΤΟ' appears to be a highly unusual or possibly garbled form, perhaps a misspelling or a very rare compound. It is structured as a 3rd person singular imperfect middle or passive verb. If it were a standard form of 'διώθω' (diōthō), meaning 'to push away', it would typically be 'ἐδιώθειτο'. The initial 'ΩΝ' is highly irregular for an augment or prefix in this context. It describes an action that was ongoing in the past, where the subject was either performing the action on themselves (middle voice) or having the action done to them (passive voice).
Inflection: 3rd Person Singular, Imperfect, Middle or Passive
Unknown: Yes
