Best Answer

"Sayeth" is indeed a word; or perhaps it is more accurate to say that it was a word. The Oxford English Dictionary records this spelling being used in the 16th and 17th centuries. The alternative spelling "saith" has been used since the 13th century and still appears in deliberately archaic usage. The modern English equivalent to both is "says", the present indicative third person singular.
