δόξῃ
dokéō
think
To regard, to think, to hold an opinion. In context, δοκέω is used with reference to subjective evaluation: to believe or suppose something, to have the impression that something is so. Additionally, it can signal how something appears to one's perception or estimation (to seem, to appear). In some constructions, especially with impersonal usage (δοκεῖ), it means 'it seems' or 'it appears' and can carry the nuance of 'it seems good,' meaning 'it is judged best' or 'it seems right.'
