Explanation: This word is highly unusual and does not appear to be a standard Koine Greek word. It is likely a misspelling, a garbled text, or a very specific, possibly proper, noun that is not widely attested. Given the context, it might refer to a specific group, unit, or individual associated with 'Cestius' (Κεστίῳ). It appears to be a compound word, possibly combining elements related to 'stumbling' or 'falling' (from πταίω) and 'twelfth' (from δωδέκατος), but its exact meaning and usage are unclear.
