I don't know exactly what your transliteratIon scheme is, but if c = xi,
then your word SHOULD be the adjective, OCUS, OCEIA, OCU, meaning "sharp,"
"keen," or "high-pitched." If this is the passage I think it is, it
probably qualifies the word for spirit (sorry, I don't have a LXX with me
at home to check the verse).
