Translations: to Romans, for Romans, upon, on, over, at, to, against
From the root: ΡΩΜΑΙΟΣ, ΕΠΙ
Part of Speech: Noun, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a concatenation of two distinct Koine Greek words: 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΙΣ' (Romaiois) and 'ἘΠΙ' (Epi). 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΙΣ' is the dative plural form of the noun 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΣ' (Romaios), meaning 'Roman'. It indicates 'to the Romans' or 'for the Romans'. 'ἘΠΙ' is a versatile preposition that can mean 'upon', 'on', 'over', 'at', 'to', or 'against', depending on the case of the noun it governs. When used with the dative case, as it would be with 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΙΣ', it typically means 'upon', 'on', 'at', or 'in addition to'. Therefore, the combined phrase would likely mean 'upon the Romans' or 'against the Romans'.
Inflection: ΡΩΜΑΙΟΙΣ: Plural, Dative, Masculine. ἘΠΙ: Does not inflect, but governs various cases (Genitive, Dative, Accusative).
