Why should we search for "miltos", while what is written is not "miltos"? There are simply too many strokes for it to be "miltos", are not there?

I could be wrong, but I think that extra tick at the beginning of the "m" might be a joining stroke between the plus sign and the m. The letter between the first letter and the ell looks more like an "i" than a "u" (the scribe doesn't always dot the "i"). It might be "multos", I've even interpreted it that way sometimes, but I'm leaning slightly toward miltos:


   

Note how the "m" in morix has the long extra beginning stroke. And how the "i" in anchiton and morix leans back (like the i-shape in miltos) and has a long beginning stroke at the top-left. Anchiton barely has a dot on the "i" and morix doesn't have one. It could also be "milcos". One can never be certain about "t" and "c" except by context in many medieval documents.

If there is a "u" in there (it doesn't really look like a "u", but if it is...), then mulcos is also possible, which is also a Latin word.
