ἘΜΕΛΛΕΚΑΙΣΑΡ, ἐμελλεκαισαρ
EMELLEKAISAR, emellekaisar
Sounds Like: eh-MEL-leh-KAI-sar
Translations: he was about, he was going to, Caesar
From the root: ΜΕΛΛΩ, ΚΑΙΣΑΡ
Part of Speech: Verb, Proper Noun
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word or, more likely, two separate words concatenated without a space: 'ἘΜΕΛΛΕ' (emelle) and 'ΚΑΙΣΑΡ' (Kaisar). 'ἘΜΕΛΛΕ' is the imperfect active indicative third person singular of the verb 'μέλλω' (mellō), meaning 'to be about to' or 'to intend'. 'ΚΑΙΣΑΡ' is a proper noun meaning 'Caesar'. Therefore, the combined phrase would mean 'Caesar was about to' or 'Caesar was going to'. It is highly probable that this is a transcription error where the space between the two words was omitted.
Inflection: ἘΜΕΛΛΕ: Imperfect, Active, Indicative, Third Person, Singular; ΚΑΙΣΑΡ: Singular, Nominative, Masculine
