Part of Speech: Pronoun, Adjective
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two words, 'ἘΚΕΙΝΩΝ' (ekeinon) and 'ΜΕΤΡΙΩΤΕΡΑΙ' (metriōterai), written together without a space. 'ἘΚΕΙΝΩΝ' is the genitive plural of the demonstrative pronoun 'ἐκεῖνος' (ekeinos), meaning 'of those' or 'of them'. 'ΜΕΤΡΙΩΤΕΡΑΙ' is the nominative/vocative plural, feminine form of the comparative adjective 'μετριώτερος' (metriōteros), meaning 'more moderate', 'more reasonable', or 'more temperate'. Together, it would mean 'more moderate than those' or 'more reasonable than them'.
