Explanation: This appears to be a compound or concatenation of two Koine Greek words: ἘΡΓΟΙΣ (ergois) and ΠΑΛΑΙ (palai). ἘΡΓΟΙΣ is the dative plural form of the noun ἘΡΓΟΝ (ergon), meaning 'work,' 'deed,' or 'act.' ΠΑΛΑΙ is an adverb meaning 'long ago,' 'of old,' or 'formerly.' When combined, they would typically mean 'to works long ago' or 'to deeds of old.' This combination suggests actions or events that occurred in the distant past.
Inflection: ἘΡΓΟΙΣ: Plural, Dative, Neuter. ΠΑΛΑΙ: Does not inflect (Adverb).
