From the root: ΑΥ̓ΤΟΧΕΙΡ
Part of Speech: Adjective
Explanation: This word is an adjective meaning 'with one's own hand' or 'by one's own hand'. It is often used to describe someone who has committed an act themselves, especially a violent one, such as suicide or murder. It can also function as a noun, referring to a 'self-murderer' or 'suicide'. The word is a compound of 'αὐτός' (autos, 'self') and 'χείρ' (cheir, 'hand'). The initial 'ΟΙΣ' part of the provided word 'ΟΙΣΑΥ̓ΤΟΧΕΙΡΙ' appears to be a misspelling or a garbled form of 'ΟἸΚΕΙΟΤΑΤΩΝ' or a similar word from the surrounding text, or perhaps a typo for 'ΟΙ' (the masculine plural nominative article). The core word is 'αὐτόχειρ'.
