Explanation: This word appears to be a compound of the proper noun 'Hephaestus' (ΗΦΑΙΣΤΟΣ) in its accusative plural form 'ΗΦΑΙΣΤΟΥΣ', immediately followed by the masculine accusative plural definite article 'ΤΟΥΣ'. It is highly probable that this is a typographical error or a scribal mistake, and the intended phrase was 'ΗΦΑΙΣΤΟΥΣ ΤΟΥΣ', meaning 'the Hephaestuses'. Hephaestus is the Greek god of blacksmiths, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metals, metallurgy, fire, and volcanoes.
