Exegesis
The verb ephylaxen {ἐφύλαξεν | ephýlaxen} ‘he preserved’ takes as its object the appositional phrase ogdoon Nōe dikaiosynēs kēryka {ὄγδοον Νῶε δικαιοσύνης κήρυκα | ógdoon Nôe dikaiosýnēs kḗryka} ‘Noah, the eighth herald of righteousness,’ where ogdoon ‘eighth’ marks his position among eight survivors and dikaiosynēs ‘of righteousness’ qualifies keryka ‘herald.’
In context — 2 Peter 2:5
And He showed no mercy to the ancient world, but He upheld Noah, the eighth herald of righteousness, when He brought the flood upon the ungodly world.
