Part of Speech: Verb, Article
Explanation: This word is a compound of the verb 'ἐπέτρεπεν' (epetrepēn) and the dative plural definite article or pronoun 'τοῖς' (tois). 'Ἐπέτρεπεν' is the third person singular imperfect active indicative of the verb 'ἐπιτρέπω', meaning 'to permit, allow, entrust, give permission'. The imperfect tense indicates a continuous or repeated action in the past. 'Τοῖς' is the dative plural of the definite article 'ὁ', meaning 'to the' or 'for the', or it can function as a dative plural pronoun 'to them' or 'for them'. Therefore, the combined phrase means 'he was permitting to them' or 'he was allowing to the ones'.
