Part of Speech: Noun

Explanation: This is a common abbreviation (a 'nomina sacra') for the Koine Greek word ΘΕΟΣ (THEOS), meaning 'God'. It is used to refer to the supreme being, or sometimes to a deity in a more general sense. The abbreviation is often found in ancient manuscripts where scribes would shorten sacred names to save space and show reverence. Depending on the context, it can represent various inflected forms of 'God', such as the nominative (God), genitive (of God), or dative (to God).
