Rm 3:25 begins with


ON PREQETO hO QEOS hILASTHRION ...

The word hILASTHRION seems like a noun (BDAG 'a means of
propitiation'). I got confusion when I read in a commentary that this
is an adjective (propitiatory as an adjective).

I don't think it affects my understanding of the meaning. Just from
purely grammatical viewpoint, how I can decide whether this is a noun
or an adjective?

Thank you,

Oun Kwon.
