Part of Speech: Noun, Preposition
Explanation: This appears to be a compound phrase consisting of two separate Koine Greek words: 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΥΣ' (Rhōmaious) and 'ἘΠΙ' (Epi). 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΥΣ' is the accusative plural of 'ΡΩΜΑΙΟΣ' (Rhōmaios), meaning 'Romans' or 'Roman people'. 'ἘΠΙ' is a versatile preposition that can mean 'upon', 'on', 'to', 'against', 'over', 'at', 'in', 'for', or 'by', depending on the case of the noun it governs. When combined, as seen in the example, it likely means 'upon the Romans' or 'against the Romans', indicating direction, position, or hostility towards them.
Inflection: ΡΩΜΑΙΟΥΣ: Plural, Accusative, Masculine; ἘΠΙ: Does not inflect (preposition)
