Translations: Hyrcanus and, a Hyrcanus and
From the root: ΥΡΚΑΝΟΣ, ΚΑΙ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Conjunction
Explanation: This is a compound word formed by the proper noun 'Υρκανός' (Hyrcanus) and the conjunction 'καί' (and). 'Υρκανός' refers to a historical figure, often a Jewish high priest or ruler from the Hasmonean dynasty. The word 'καί' means 'and', 'also', or 'even'. Therefore, 'ΥΡΚΑΝΟΝΚΑΙ' means 'Hyrcanus and' or 'and Hyrcanus'. It is likely a scribal error where the conjunction 'καί' was appended directly to the preceding word without a space.
Inflection: Singular, Accusative, Masculine (for ΥΡΚΑΝΟΝ); Does not inflect (for ΚΑΙ)
