Katastropheas dedomenon

Means, I think, "given over to overthrows".



google translate gives a different translation: data shredder or data destructor

Dedomenon meant given in the Biblical past, and data now. ("Take is as given", in a logical/mathematical sense).

For a database integrity scientist, "data destroyer" makes sense.


Ha! Well, that's what I get for having studied Classical Greek in school but not Modern Greek.
