Minor derailment: I believe it's something like peh-zdeh-tay-roi, with the P as spin and not as pin (sounds more like a B, really); the Z like mazed; E like pet; T as stone and not as tone (more like a D); AI like hay but a bit longer; R "rolled" as in Spanish and certain other languages; and OI as boi. In IPA it would be something along the lines of [pɛzdɛteiroi], and in Greek orthography I believe it would be πεζέταιροι. The second syllable (ze/zdeh/ζέ) would be pronounced with a rising tone, as if you were ending a question.

I could be a bit off, but I believe that's roughly accurate.
