Παραδείσῳ
parádeisos
An enclosed garden or park, often referring in various contexts to a luxuriant, well-watered, and pleasurable space for recreation. In Hellenistic and late Jewish-Greek literature, also denotes the primeval garden in the Genesis narrative ('Eden'), and by extension, a transcendent place of blessing, rest, and reward after death. The dominant sense is that of a walled or protected garden, but later, especially in apocalyptic or religious texts, it acquires a metaphorical or eschatological connotation, referring to an ideal or ultimate place of happiness.
