See -τής on Wiktionary

Suffix [Ancient Greek]

IPA: /tɛ̌ːs/, /tis/, /tis/, /tɛ̌ːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /te̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /tis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /tis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /tis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: From Proto-Hellenic *-tās (whence also Mycenaean Greek 𐀑𐀴𐀲 (ki-ti-ta /⁠ktitā(s)⁠/, κτίτης)), probably a masculine formation from Proto-Indo-European *-teh₂ (perhaps still seen in Latin Monēta), feminine of *-tós. Originally used in adjectival compounds, the suffix's narrowing to agentivity may be by analogy to -τήρ (-tḗr) and -τωρ (-tōr).
