How would one obtain architon from archon? Or is it a shortened word for architecton?

Interestingly, architecton is an overseer at construction works, though I haven't found out yet if it was applied also to other overseers or coordinators. In that case it could be a dedication to the VM mastermind, which would mean that the "author's" name is Oladabas. 

Hi Koen,

'Archicos' is the Greek adjective formed from (or cognate with) the noun 'Archon'.  So Dr Damschen interpreted it as 'the Ruler', referring to Christ.  See You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

If so, then unless 'oladabas' is a neuter noun, which seems unlikely, it can't agree with 'archicon' and my suggested translation is grammatically impossible.

I get the feeling I'm not only reinventing the wheel, but I'm making it in the wrong shape and colour.
