It's the superlative form. In the first paragraph of BDAG's entry, you'll see " superl. Θεοπρεπέστατος"

Subject: [B-Greek] QEOPREPESTATOU
I have just begun to translate the letters of Ignatius, starting with his
letter to the Magnesians. Already in the first chapter I have come across a
form that I can't identify! Maybe you folks can help me out.
Here is the phrase:
KATACIWQEIS GAR QEOPREPESTATOU
καταξιωθεὶς γὰρ θεοπρεπεστάτου
The word form is QEOPREPESTATOU (θεοπρεπεστάτου) which BGAD has listed under
QEOPREPHS with a gloss for the verse in Ignatius: "a name that resounds to
the glory of God."
Any one have any idea why this word is in this form? It's obviously genitive
singular, but if it is really a form of QEOPREPHS, shouldn't that make it
QEOPREPHTOS? thanks to BGAD my translation isn't suffering, but it still
bugs me that I can't recognize this word/form.
Thanks,
RHFIOS - Refe
