"μόθων" meaning in Ancient Greek

See μόθων in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /mó.tʰɔːn/, /ˈmo.θon/, /ˈmo.θon/, /mó.tʰɔːn/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈmo.tʰon/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈmo.θon/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈmo.θon/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈmo.θon/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Beekes, from μόθος (móthos, “battle din”). However, Lewy proposes a Semitic origin, comparing the word with Hebrew עתק (ataq, “to set free”) and suggesting that μόθαξ (móthax) was the original word.
