ΚΤΗΣΕΩΣΤΟΙΣ, κτησεωστοις
KTĒSEŌSTOIS, ktēseōstois
Sounds Like: KTEE-seh-ohss TOYS
Translations: of possession, of acquisition, to the, for the
From the root: ΚΤΗΣΕΩΣ, ΤΟΙΣ
Part of Speech: Noun, Article
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a transcription error combining the genitive singular form of the noun 'κτῆσις' (ktēsis), meaning 'possession' or 'acquisition', with the dative plural form of the definite article 'ὁ' (ho), meaning 'to the' or 'for the'. In Koine Greek, these two words would typically be written separately as 'ΚΤΗΣΕΩΣ ΤΟΙΣ'. Therefore, it likely means 'of possession to the' or 'of acquisition to the'. It is highly probable that this is a garbled word or a typo in the source text.
