ΑΛΩΣΕΣΘΑΙΤΟΙΣ, αλωσεσθαιτοις
ALŌSESTHAITOIS, alōsesthaitois
Sounds Like: HA-lo-SES-thai-TOYS
Translations: to be captured, to be taken, to be conquered, to be caught, to these, for these, by these
From the root: ΑΛΙΣΚΟΜΑΙ, ΟΥ̓͂ΤΟΣ
Part of Speech: Verb, Pronoun
Explanation: This appears to be a compound or concatenation of two words: the future passive infinitive of the verb ἁλίσκομαι (haliskomai), meaning 'to be captured' or 'to be taken,' and the dative plural of the demonstrative pronoun οὗτος (houtos), meaning 'these.' Therefore, the combined meaning would be something like 'to be captured by these' or 'to be taken for these.' It is highly probable that these words were written together without a space due to a scribal error or a specific ancient writing convention (scriptio continua) where words were not separated by spaces.
Inflection: Future Passive Infinitive (for ἁλίσκομαι); Dative Plural (for οὗτος), All Genders
