Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Conjunction
Explanation: This is a compound word formed from 'Υρκανός' (Hyrcanus) and 'καί' (and). 'Υρκανός' refers to a proper name, specifically a common name among the Hasmonean dynasty in ancient Judea. The form 'Υρκανῷ' is the dative singular of Hyrcanus, meaning 'to Hyrcanus' or 'for Hyrcanus'. The 'καί' then connects this phrase to something else, meaning 'and'. So, the combined word means 'to Hyrcanus and' or 'for Hyrcanus and'.
Inflection: Proper Noun: Singular, Dative, Masculine; Conjunction: Does not inflect
