I believe it means "whither", but I could be wrong, I'm rather new at Greek.
“Cum ego verbo utar,” Humpty Dumpty dixit voce contempta, “indicat illud quod optem – nec plus nec minus.”
“Est tamen rogatio” dixit Alice, “an efficere verba tot res indicare possis.”
“Rogatio est, “Humpty Dumpty responsit, “quae fiat magister – id cunctum est.”

οἵ is masc. pl. nom. of ὅς.
In Elements, Euclid uses 'ὅπερ' as "the very thing that" as in "ὅπερ ἔδει δεῖξαι(the very thing that needed to be shown)".
But this kind of particles change their meaning abruptly according to the gender, number, and cases. In this case the note in Goodwin says its a causal relative pronoun.
Or you could refer to the White's Illustrated Dictionary of Anabasis, page 161, to find ὅσπερ 'who certainly(rel. pron.)'.
