Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a garbled form of another word, as 'ΕΠΙΣΑ' does not correspond to a recognized Koine Greek word. Based on the provided context, it is highly probable that it is a misspelling of 'ΕΠΙΣΑΣΑ' (episasa), which is the aorist active participle (feminine, nominative, singular) of the verb 'ΕΠΙΣΑΖΩ' (episazo), meaning 'to saddle' or 'to load'. Another possibility, especially given the context of 'λεπισαι', is a misspelling of 'ΛΕΠΙΣΑ' (lepisa), which could be related to 'λεπίζω' (lepizo), meaning 'to peel' or 'to scale', or 'λεπίς' (lepis), meaning 'scale'. Without further context or clarification, its exact meaning remains uncertain.
