Translations: greatest, largest, most important, to the, for the, these, those
From the root: ΜΕΓΑΣ, ΟΥ̓͂ΤΟΣ
Part of Speech: Adjective, Article, Pronoun
Explanation: This appears to be a compound or a concatenation of two distinct Koine Greek words: ΜΕΓΙΣΤΟΝ (MEGISTON) and ΤΟΙΣ (TOIS). ΜΕΓΙΣΤΟΝ is the neuter singular nominative or accusative form of the superlative adjective ΜΕΓΙΣΤΟΣ, meaning 'greatest,' 'largest,' or 'most important.' ΤΟΙΣ is the dative plural form of the definite article 'the' or the demonstrative pronoun 'these/those.' When combined, 'ΜΕΓΙΣΤΟΝ ΤΟΙΣ' would typically mean 'the greatest (thing) to/for these/those' or 'the greatest (thing) for the ones.' It is highly probable that the original text intended these as two separate words.
Inflection: ΜΕΓΙΣΤΟΝ: Singular, Neuter, Nominative or Accusative. ΤΟΙΣ: Plural, Dative, All genders.
