Grammatical Analysis

"οις"

Type: relative pronoun (ὅς, ἥ, ὅ) / also possible: personal pronoun (3rd person) dative plural (σφίσι(ν) / οἷς in some dialects/poetic usage)

Case: dative

Number: plural

Gender: masculine or neuter

Notes: Exact form οἷς most commonly parses as the dative plural masculine/neuter of the relative pronoun ὅς (‘to/for whom/which’). In some poetic/dialectal contexts it can also correspond to a 3rd-person personal pronoun dative plural (‘to/for them’), but the default reading in Attic/Koine is relative.
