I hope someone can take a crack at this one. It appears in Book 11, line 24 
of the Paraphrase of John by Nonnos, corresponding to John 11:6

the word is:  telessimorou 

the line reads (in perfect dactyllic hexameter):
dichthadie^s parameibe telessimorou dromon e^ous.

it is paraphrasing:
tote men emeinen (epi to^i topo^i) duo hemeras

Thanks for your help
