The headword is the aorist middle participle, feminine nominative singular, of a)poba/llw (cf. alpha 3248); the gloss is the corresponding aorist active participle. (The verb ba/llw and its compounds have double lambda in the present tense, single lambda in the aorist.) The headword must be quoted from somewhere -- perhaps the Christian writer Maximus the Confessor (C6-7), who has the only instances otherwise attested; he refers sometimes to a woman, sometimes to the soul.
