Part of Speech: Noun, Proper Noun

Explanation: This is a compound word formed by the noun 'στρατηγός' (strategos), meaning 'general' or 'commander', and the proper noun 'Ἰησοῦς' (Iesous), which refers to 'Jesus' or 'Joshua'. The form 'στρατηγοῦσι' is the dative plural of 'στρατηγός', meaning 'to/for generals' or 'by generals'. The form 'Ἰησοῦν' is the accusative singular of 'Ἰησοῦς'. In this specific context, it appears to be a list of names, where 'στρατηγοῦσι' might be used to introduce the 'generals' or 'commanders' being referred to, followed by the name 'Jesus/Joshua' as one of them. It could also be interpreted as 'to/for generals, even Jesus/Joshua'.
