"ΠΛΕΙΣΤΟΥΣ" means "most" or "very many," referring to a large quantity or number. The particle "ΔΕ" typically means "but," "and," or "moreover," and it often introduces a new clause or a contrast. Together, the phrase would mean "and most" or "but most," indicating a continuation or a slight shift in the narrative, emphasizing the large number of something.
