Translations: of salvation, of deliverance, of preservation, they were deemed worthy, they were thought fit, they were considered worthy, they were demanded, they were claimed
From the root: ΣΩΤΗΡΙΑ, ἈΞΙΌΩ
Part of Speech: Noun, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two words: ΣΩΤΗΡΙΑΣ (sōtērias) and ἨΞΙΟΥΝΤΟ (ēxiounto). ΣΩΤΗΡΙΑΣ is the genitive singular form of the noun ΣΩΤΗΡΙΑ, meaning 'salvation,' 'deliverance,' or 'preservation.' ἨΞΙΟΥΝΤΟ is the imperfect indicative middle/passive third person plural form of the verb ἈΞΙΌΩ, meaning 'to deem worthy,' 'to think fit,' 'to demand,' or 'to claim.' Therefore, the combined phrase would mean something like 'they were deemed worthy of salvation' or 'they were thought fit for deliverance.' It is likely that these two words were written together without a space in the source text, which is not uncommon in ancient manuscripts.
Inflection: ΣΩΤΗΡΙΑΣ: Singular, Genitive, Feminine; ἨΞΙΟΥΝΤΟ: Third Person Plural, Imperfect, Indicative, Middle or Passive Voice
