There's like three and a half KZKs buzzing around (bug, Kozoaku, Farahn, diamond-face Farahn), two Siphanianas, a whole God team whose names I don't even remember. Basphomy is Lenari and she's a moon twin?
-The Bug we see talking with Rithuly is Kozoaku just before Farhan (still a normal human being at this point) invoke him back to reality. When he is brought back to earth, Kozoaku takes shape as a giant Super-Stabby Earwig-Taur being with too many eyes. At this point, K'Z'K, a future version of Kozoaku who lives in the back of Gwynn's mind, comes and talk to Kozoaku to tell him how to proceed for his plan to succeed. The plan result in Farhan being possessed by Kozoaku (whose true name is changed to K'Z'K through magic) and imprisoned in a Scroll (it's not the one you are asking about), Scroll that will later become part of the book of E-Ville (as it is told to us in this current arc) this is how Farhan become diamond-face Farhan.
-The first Siphaniana was the favorite spouse of King Farhan in pre-egyptian times and switched mind with Gwynn (who was taken away from her present times, a future time from the point of view of Siphaniana) and this is how Gwynn (with K'Z'K hidden in the back of her mind) was braught into the past, possessing Siphaniana's body. The second Siphaniana is the grand-grand-daughter of Quint (Quint is the one who created the Book of E-ville to conceal the Scroll Farhan and K'Z'K ended up in). That second Siphaniana was manipulated by Farhan (and probably the bug too) to get rid of some of the pages of the Book, so that the book would be the way the Bug and Farhan want it to be.
-The Gods team are:
Kronus (god of Time, aka Father Time)
Krig (god of Joy)
Tempest (god of Fate, aka Uncle Time, who later got to rule over the timeless space)
Symachus (god of justice)
Sluggy (god of power who later got to be named Bun-Bun)
-I don't think there is any character named Lenari. The moon twin is named Dunuloa, she isn't Basphomy. Basphomy is one of her creation in wich Dunuloa poored the darkest aspect of herself. Basphomy went through many different names before calling herself Basphomy. Also, the other twin is the Sun twin, Rana and both twins are the daughters of Kronus.

Why does Diamond-face Farahn want to remove pages from the book? Why does Gwynn want them back in the book? What was in KZK's box again? A compass and scroll? What were they for?
-We are lacking details, but it seems Farhan and the bug were more or less working together to make the book powerful enough so that they would be able to act on their own, acting against Quint's plan to make it a powerless book of useless and pointless spells. Farhan and the bug seems to considers some of those pages are dangerous to their plan and should be removed. The exact reason why are unknown, but they already said that the page of Binding and Unbinding could undo the book and turns them back to powerless scroll, as for the page to summon Captain Botanical, I guess the bug doesn't want competition and also would prefer to not have a being able to cancel magic, thus cancelling the Bug's power. The third page remains a mystery.
-Gwyn is acting on the supposition that having a full book will help her deal with Farhan loitering in her mind.
-It's a box meant to contain the scroll you also asked about. It's a different scroll than the one that would later imprison Farhan and K'Z'K (that one, at this point, doesn't exist yet). This scroll is actually written in English and contains "prophecies" (actually knowledges K'Z'K had from the future), that K'Z'K made so that it could only be opened with the blood of a descendant of Symachus, one of them happening to be be Riff's dad, who found it and the scroll's "prophecies" lead him to believe that the world's end was inevitable and that helping K'Z'K's release was the only way to save his son. The compass actually point out to anyone containing a bit of K'Z'K's soul in them, to gather them all so that K'Z'K could be reassembled and restored after Zoe had squished K'Z'K during medieval times.

Who was Ozzid? I don't remember him at all…?
-Ozzid has mostly been established in the current arc, as the guardian of Quint's lineage and hasn't really been fleshed out before this chapter. He simply briefly appear during the arc where Zoe and Torg were stuck in medieval time.

What paper did Bishop Osterhagen find? "We all know how that turned out" well, NO actually, that was *six years ago* and involved a giant complex story involving a giant plant… I don't remember how it "turned out" except that Torg and Gwynn escaped at some point with Captain Botanical…?
-It's the scroll that allow to invoke Captain Botanical. The Bishop tried to invoke it in the hope of being able to destroy it, but failed and was turned in an hating plant Zombie. That's how it turned out.
I hope all of this help.

I tend to solely rely on the ref links, for what it's worth. But a Recap comic DEFINITELY would not be out of place. Perhaps when we get back to the main gang...
Welp, Today's comic in question actually IS a recap comic. Aside from Rithuly's confession, we didn't really learn anything new today.
