Part of Speech: Proper Noun
Explanation: Nathanael is a proper noun, a personal name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'God has given' or 'gift of God'. It refers to one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, often identified with Bartholomew. The final apostrophe-like character (keraia or coronis) indicates either a numerical value (1451) or, more commonly in this context, an elision or abbreviation. However, for a proper noun like Nathanael, it most likely serves as a keraia indicating a number, or it could be a scribal mark. Given the context of a name, it's primarily the name itself.
