It is not clear to me what you are asking. Is there a word AUTOQEOS in Greek? Or
did you mean to say AUTO(S) QEOS?
Does that occur anywhere in the NT or maybe in other Greek literature? I cannot
find it in the NT, but AUTOS QEOS would mean "God himself" if it occurs.

I did find in the NT the phrase hO AUTOS QEOS (1 Cor 12:6) meaning "The same
God". The search mechanism I am using for the NT did not reveal any other
sequence AUTO(S) QEOS, but maybe I missed it.
