thanks all-but don't see why it's hecatomb-i came up with it as an anagram tto but cdn't make connection

[sarumite]

stevelyn, the definition of Hecatomb is .... "A great sacrifice; an ancient Greek or Roman sacrifice of 100 oxen"

It is also an anagram of ' both came' as denoted by the word "possibly" in the clue.
