Sounds Like: SAI-tham
Translations: 261
From the root: ΣΑΙΘΑΜ
Part of Speech: Numeral
Explanation: This word is a numeral, indicated by the keraia (ʼ) at the end. In Koine Greek, letters were used to represent numbers. The sequence ΣΑΙΘΑΜ corresponds to the numerical value 261 (Sigma = 200, Alpha = 1, Iota = 10, Theta = 9, Alpha = 1, Mu = 40). However, the sum of these values (200 + 1 + 10 + 9 + 1 + 40 = 261) is not a standard way to form numbers in Koine Greek. Typically, numbers are formed by adding values, but the order and specific combination here are unusual for a single number. It is possible that this is a misspelling or a very rare or non-standard numerical representation. It could also be a proper noun or a foreign word transliterated into Greek, which would then be followed by a keraia to indicate it's a number, but that's less likely given the letter sequence. Given the unusual combination for a numeral, it's highly probable that this is a misspelling or a garbled text.
