Amenon Chydaiteton

The Amenon Chydaiteton (Tira Vellan: Ἄμενον Χυδαιτήτον, tr. Āmenon Chydaitēton) is an occult manuscript written by Cirrus circa 2255 in the aftermath of the Black Dawn Crisis.   An amenon is a specific form of religious commentary in which the author attempts to explain religious tenants and their applications through personal anecdotes. Strictly speaking, the Amenon Chydaiteton would not be classically considered an amenon, but from the text, it is known that Cirrus was a priest of the demiurgical Ladocs, and that his work is meant as a commentary on the first two books of the Apocryphal Antecedent: the Apocrypha of Ladocs and the Planes.   The meaning of "Chydaiteton" (Χυδαιτήτον) is unknown, and as such the title of the work is untranslateable, even to magic. Most amenoi are "commentaries of/on something", and as such it is expected the subject of the amenon will take the genetive case in the title (e.g. Amenon Thysioin Basileikoin, Commentary on Kingly Sacrifices). As the ending of "Chydaiteton" agrees with the ending of "Amenon", it's thought it must be an adjective.
