From the root: ΕΠΕΡΧΟΜΑΙ, ΥΠΟ
Part of Speech: Verb, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a concatenation of two separate Koine Greek words: ἘΠΕΛΘΟΝΤΕΣ and ΥΠΟ. ἘΠΕΛΘΟΝΤΕΣ is the masculine nominative plural aorist active participle of the verb ἐπέρχομαι, meaning 'to come upon,' 'to attack,' 'to approach,' or 'to arrive.' It describes an action of coming or arriving, often with an implication of hostility or suddenness, performed by multiple male subjects. ΥΠΟ is a preposition meaning 'under,' 'by,' or 'with,' and its specific meaning depends on the case of the noun it governs (genitive, dative, or accusative). When combined, they would typically form a phrase like 'having come upon under' or 'having attacked by'.
Inflection: ἘΠΕΛΘΟΝΤΕΣ: Participle, Aorist, Active, Masculine, Nominative, Plural. ΥΠΟ: Does not inflect (preposition).
