Two things:

1. greek.ldf redefines \@roman, inserting \textlatin. This
   contains \protect which is not allowed inside a \csname.
   If greek wants to change the appearence of typeset roman
   letters, it should redefine commands that typeset them,
   not the command that creates them. And it should probably
   put the change in greek.sty instead of greek.ldf.

2. threeparttablex.sty uses \roman, where it should use
   \romannumeral to guard against packages that redefine
   \roman and/or \@roman.

It should be safe to edit threeparttablex.sty, changing
the line
    \@nameuse{LT@\roman{LT at tables}}to
    \@nameuse{LT@\romannumeral\c at LT@tables}
