Part of Speech: Adverb
Explanation: This word appears to be a misspelling or a very rare compound. It is most likely a typographical error for the two separate words 'ΠΑΤΡΙ ΠΡΙΝ' (patri prin), meaning 'to the father before' or 'before the father'. However, in the provided context, it functions as an adverb meaning 'before' or 'until', similar to the word 'πρίν' (prin). If it is a single word, it would be a compound of 'ΠΑΤΡΙ' (patri), the dative form of 'father', and 'ΠΡΙΝ' (prin), meaning 'before'. Its usage would indicate a temporal relationship, signifying an action that precedes another.
