Explanation: This word is a preposition or adverb meaning 'on account of' or 'for the sake of'. It is typically used with the genitive case to indicate the reason or cause for something. While the form 'ΕΝΕΚΕΝΤΩΝ' might appear to be an inflected form, it is most likely a misspelling or a scribal error for 'ΕΝΕΚΕΝ' followed by a genitive plural article 'ΤΩΝ', or 'ΕΝΕΚΑ' followed by 'ΤΩΝ'. The word itself does not inflect for number or case.
