Part of Speech: Participle, Preposition

Explanation: This is a compound phrase consisting of a participle and a preposition. 'ΣΥΛΛΑΒΟΝΤΕΣ' is the aorist active participle of the verb 'συλλαμβάνω', meaning 'to seize', 'to arrest', 'to help', or 'to conceive'. 'ἘΠΙ' is a preposition meaning 'on', 'upon', 'over', 'at', 'to', 'against', or 'for', with its precise meaning depending on the case of the noun it governs. The combination suggests an action of seizing, arresting, helping, or conceiving that is directed 'upon' or 'against' something or someone. The word 'ΣΥΛΛΑΒΟΝΤΕΣἘΠΙ' itself is not a standard single word but rather two words written together, likely due to a scribal error or a specific textual tradition.
