ἀπέθανεν
apothnḗskō
died
To die, to undergo death, to come to an end of physical life. Also, to perish, be put to death, or undergo figurative forms of 'dying' such as loss or destruction. In some contexts, refers not only to the literal cessation of biological life but also to perishing in a broader existential, spiritual, or ethical sense (e.g., being lost, ruined, or excluded from a group). Its primary meaning is always rooted in the event or process of death, but context may extend the sense to loss of status, relationship, or spiritual condition.
