Google Translate tells me it's "Sýn Theó" - which means "With God". It pronounces it "seen THAY-oh" (th soft, like in "think").

Hi, I have this Greek word "ev8ovAia" from page 35 of the Cambridge Medieval History, volume 2.
Any help with pronunciation would be appreciated. Thank you, Rosie

Looks like the Greek characters didn't copy over correctly. It looks like it's εὐβουλία, although I'm not sure if those υ's are ν's.
