Translations: for I was hurrying, for I was hastening, for I was being urged

From the root: ΓΑΡ, ΕΠΕΙΓΩ

Explanation: This is a compound word formed by the conjunction 'γάρ' (gar), meaning 'for' or 'because', and the verb 'ἠπειγόμην' (ēpeigomēn), which means 'I was hurrying' or 'I was hastening'.

The form 'ἠπειγόμην' is in the imperfect tense, indicating an ongoing action in the past.
