It can be used in a literal sense to refer to a reptile, or metaphorically to describe a cunning or evil person, often associated with Satan in biblical contexts. The form 'ΟΦΙ' specifically represents the dative singular case, indicating 'to/for a serpent/snake', or the vocative singular case, used when directly addressing a serpent/snake.
