Sounds Like: ee-EH-ron-KAH-tah
Translations: unknown
From the root: ΙΕΡΟΣ, ΚΑΤΑ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a garbled combination of two distinct Koine Greek words: "ΙΕΡΟΝ" (ieron), meaning "holy" or "sacred" (often a neuter noun meaning "a holy place" or "temple"), and "ΚΑΤΑ" (kata), a preposition meaning "down from," "against," "according to," or "throughout." It is not a recognized compound word in Koine Greek. It's possible it's a transcription error where two words were accidentally joined, or it could be a highly unusual or specialized term not commonly attested. Without further context or correction, its precise meaning is unclear.
