Explanation: This word is likely a misspelling or a variant form of the proper noun 'Pompey' (Πομπήιος or Πομπήιος). It refers to Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, a prominent Roman general and statesman. The ending '-στα' is not a standard inflectional ending for Greek proper nouns of this type, suggesting a possible scribal error, a very rare or archaic form, or an attempt to transliterate a Latin ending. In context, it would function as the subject or object of a sentence, referring to the historical figure.
