Headword:
*)/aqeon
Adler number: alpha,716
Translated headword: godless, sacrilegious
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "It is sacrilegious not to preserve the immortality of the soul and exalt it to the godlike and unite it to the divine with invulnerable and indissoluble bonds, but by contrast to drag down and suppress what is divine in us into some earthly and sinful and gigantic or titanic prison."[1]

Notes:
The unglossed headword, neuter nominative/accusative singular of this adjective, is presumably extracted from the quotation given.
