Explanation: This is a compound phrase, likely two words concatenated without a space: 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΥΣ' (Rhōmaious) and 'ἘΒΑΛΛΟΝ' (eballon). 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΥΣ' is the accusative plural of 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΣ' (Rhōmaios), meaning 'Romans' or 'Roman people'. 'ἘΒΑΛΛΟΝ' is the imperfect active indicative third person plural of the verb 'βάλλω' (ballō), meaning 'to throw', 'to cast', or 'to strike'. Therefore, the combined phrase means 'they were throwing at the Romans' or 'they were striking the Romans'. It describes an action of throwing or striking directed towards the Roman people.
