From the root: ΠΑΙΔΑΓΩΓΟΣ
Part of Speech: Noun, Participle
Explanation: This word is an inflected form of 'παιδαγωγός' (paidagogos), which refers to a tutor, guardian, or instructor, often one who accompanied children to school or supervised their conduct. It can also refer to someone who trains or guides. The form 'παιδαγωγώντον' is highly unusual and appears to be a misspelling or a garbled form. If it were a genitive plural noun, it would be 'παιδαγωγῶν' (paidagogōn). If it were a participle, it would likely be 'παιδαγωγῶν' (paidagogōn) for the masculine/neuter genitive plural, or 'παιδαγωγούντων' (paidagogountōn) if from a verb. Given the context, it most likely intends to convey the idea of 'of tutors' or 'those who are training/guiding'.
Inflection: Likely intended as Genitive Plural, Masculine or Neuter, but the ending is irregular and suggests a misspelling.
