From the root: ΚΕΙΛΑΝ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Verb
Explanation: This word appears to have two distinct possibilities based on the provided examples. In the first example, "ΚΕΙΛΑΝ" functions as a proper noun, likely a personal name. In the second and third examples, it appears to be a verb form, specifically an aorist active indicative third person plural of a verb like ἐκ-κύλλω or ἐκ-κεῖλαι, meaning 'to go out,' 'to go forth,' 'to go beyond,' or 'to exceed' in a negative sense, like 'to go to extremes' or 'to fall into.' Given the context, it's highly probable that the word in the first example is a proper noun, while in the latter two, it's a verbal form, possibly a misspelling or variant of a verb related to 'going out' or 'exceeding limits.'
