Michael,
For partial word lookups, the University of Chicago LSJ is very helpful (it's usually the end of the word that changes). Also, the Tufts Perseus has some problems sometimes showing a word that is in the lexicon. So try http://perseus.uchicago.edu/Reference/LSJ.html. But in that case, I don't think it helps. I cannot find any strings of ασδη-. Maybe it exists in the later supplements. Didn't Thackeray make a lexicon of Josephus?.
The word is often seen as οποιασδηποτε or οιασδηποτε. My best guess is ἃς -δηποτε - ουν. A combination of the relative pronoun with δηποτε and οῦν.
[253] γυναικὸς δὲ τῆς συνοικούσης βουλόμενος διαζευχθῆναι καθ᾽ ἁσδηποτοῦν αἰτίας,
πολλαὶ δ᾽ ἂν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τοιαῦται γίγνοιντο, γράμμασι μὲν περὶ τοῦ μηδέποτε
συνελθεῖν ἰσχυριζέσθω: λάβοι γὰρ ἂν οὕτως ἐξουσίαν συνοικεῖν ἑτέρῳ, πρότερον
γὰρ οὐκ ἐφετέον: εἰ δὲ καὶ πρὸς ἐκεῖνον κακωθείη καὶ τελευτήσαντος αὐτοῦ θελήσειε
γαμεῖν ὁ πρότερος, μὴ ἐξεῖναι αὐτῇ ἐπανιέναι

It has been translated by Whiston as 'any'? or left untranslated.
He that desires to be divorced from his
wife for any cause 2
whatsoever, (and many such causes happen among men,) let him in writing
...
He that desires to be divorced from his
wife for any cause 2
whatsoever, (and many such causes happen among men,)
let him in writing
give assurance that he will never use her as his wife any more; for by
this means she may be at liberty
to marry another husband, although before
this bill of divorce be given, she is not to be permitted so to do:
but
if she be misused by him also, or if, when he is dead, her first husband
would marry her again,
it shall not be lawful for her to return to him
