It doesn't look like the other "r" chars BUT let's say for the sake of research that it is a slightly malformed "r".
The other "r" characters on this folio have long leading serifs (the long "approach stroke"), so it would be consistent in that way. However, the end-knob doesn't usually face down, but it still seems reasonable to me to consider "architon" as a possible interpretation.
It might not be the right one, we don't know yet, but I'm in favor of lists of possibilities until we know more, so it seems worth exploring.
