Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the preposition 'περί' (peri), meaning 'around' or 'concerning'. When used in the phrase 'οἱ περί + accusative case', as seen in the examples (e.g., 'οἱ περί τὸν Ἰώσηπον'), it forms an idiomatic expression meaning 'those around Josephus', 'Josephus and his companions', or 'the party of Josephus'. It refers to a person and their associates or followers. In other contexts, 'περί' can simply mean 'about' or 'concerning' something.
Inflection: Accusative, Singular, Neuter (when used as a preposition with a noun), or part of an idiomatic phrase 'οἱ περί τὸν' (masculine plural nominative article + περί + accusative singular masculine article + noun)
