Given the context provided, it seems to be a proper noun, possibly a place name or an adjective describing something as 'Korean'. However, it is highly anachronistic for Koine Greek, as Korea would not have been known in the ancient world. It is very likely a misspelling or a modern insertion into an ancient text, or perhaps a very obscure and unrelated word that coincidentally looks like 'Korean'.
