Translations: It's not clear what this word means. It could be garbled or badly misspelled.
From the root: ΛΗΣΤΗΣ, ΤΙΦΟΥΣ
Part of Speech: Unknown
Explanation: This word appears to be a garbled or badly misspelled form of multiple words. It is not a recognized word in Koine Greek. The first part, 'ΛΗΣΤΡΙΚΟΥΣ', strongly resembles an inflected form of 'ΛΗΣΤΡΙΚΟΣ' (robber-like, pertaining to robbers), which itself is derived from 'ΛΗΣΤΗΣ' (robber, bandit). The second part, 'ΤΙΦΟΥΣ', is not a recognized Greek word and might be a misspelling or a non-Greek element. Given the context provided, it's highly probable that 'ΛΗΣΤΡΙΚΟΥΣΤΙΦΟΥΣ' is a corruption of 'ΛΗΣΤΡΙΚΟΥΣ' followed by another word, possibly a proper noun or a descriptive term, that has been badly transcribed or combined.
