Notes: This word is a compound word, likely formed from 'ἈΞΙΟΣ' (axios), meaning 'worthy' or 'deserving', and 'ΘΕΟΣ' (theos), meaning 'God'. The ending '-Ω' is unusual for an adjective or noun in this context and does not correspond to a standard inflection for 'worthy of God'. It is not a recognized word in standard Koine Greek lexicons. It might be a unique coinage, a misspelling, or a very rare form. If it were an adjective, it would typically be 'ἀξιόθεος' (axiothéos). If it were a verb, it would mean 'I deem worthy of God' or 'I make worthy of God', but this is highly speculative given the lack of attestation.
