Explanation: This appears to be a compound word or, more likely, a typographical error where two words have been merged: ἘΦΑΣΚΕΝ (ephasken) and ΤΗΝ (tēn). ἘΦΑΣΚΕΝ is the imperfect active indicative, third person singular, of the verb φάσκω, meaning 'to say, affirm, declare.' It describes an ongoing or repeated action in the past. ΤΗΝ is the feminine singular accusative definite article, meaning 'the.' When combined, it would typically mean 'he was saying the' or 'he was affirming the,' followed by a feminine noun in the accusative case.
Inflection: ἘΦΑΣΚΕΝ: Imperfect, Active, Indicative, 3rd Person Singular; ΤΗΝ: Singular, Accusative, Feminine
