Perhaps the least qualified, I would nevertheless offer this suggestion:

KATEPOQH   "to drink or consume"

Used metaphorically with "death," I would understand the metaphor to picture 
some action or event (death) that has been "eliminated" (as such, it ceases 
to occur).

I wonder if "expended" might work as well?


EIS NIKOS

Wallace indicates that EIS can be used in the place of EN. Perhaps EIS is 
used (instead of EN) in keeping with the metaphor.

So, if we take EIS as MEANS (a function common with EN), then we would get 
something like:

"Death has been eliminated by means of a victory."


That's my attempt,

Mark Wilson
