From the root: ΕΡΓΑΣΙΑ, ΕΠΙΤΗΔΕΙΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun, Adjective
Explanation: This appears to be a compound phrase or a concatenation of two words: 'ἘΡΓΑΣΙΑΝ' (ergasian) and 'ἘΠΙΤΗΔΕΙΟΝ' (epitēdeion). 'ἘΡΓΑΣΙΑΝ' means 'work', 'business', or 'occupation', and is in the accusative case. 'ἘΠΙΤΗΔΕΙΟΝ' means 'suitable', 'fit', 'proper', or 'useful', and is an adjective. When combined, it would likely refer to a 'suitable work', 'proper occupation', or 'useful activity'. The word 'ἘΡΓΑΣΙΑΝ' is a feminine noun, and 'ἘΠΙΤΗΔΕΙΟΝ' is a neuter adjective, which suggests a possible grammatical mismatch if they are intended to directly modify each other in a standard way, or it could imply 'a work that is suitable' where 'work' is understood in a broader sense, or it could be a misspelling/typographical error in the original text.
Inflection: ἘΡΓΑΣΙΑΝ: Singular, Accusative, Feminine; ἘΠΙΤΗΔΕΙΟΝ: Singular, Nominative or Accusative, Neuter
