Anchiton as a transcription from Greek
#28
Since you're looking into this, Koen, I should mention something I frequently see in manuscripts...

On the matter of whether something is a hard-h or soft-h sound, often if it was a hard-h, scribes would add a "c" character. It didn't mean "ch" as in English, it was like the "h" in Hebrew or hard-g in Dutch. So, sometimes they wrote it "h" and sometimes they wrote it "ch".

Which means... anchiton might be an alternate spelling of anhiton (or as Jeff Dunham would say, an-phlegm-iton).
