Part of Speech: Article, Preposition
Explanation: This word appears to be a compound or a concatenation of the definite article 'ΟΙ' (the, masculine plural nominative) and the preposition 'ΚΑΤΑ' (down, according to, against, by, throughout). In Koine Greek, words were often written without spaces, leading to such concatenations. The meaning would depend on the context of the two words used together. For example, 'οἱ κατὰ' (hoi kata) would mean 'those who are according to/down/against' something.
