I would tag it with PNEUMATI. We might say "the spirit" ... hAGIO is used
qualitatively (see my previous message), thus in English would not call for
an article.  However, PNEUMATI is used definitely, so the article would seem
to go with it.  

One way to resolve this kind of issue is to ask something like: Would it
make any sense in English to say "spirit the holy" (compare to "the spirit
holy").
