Translations: Malichos began, Malichos was ruling, Malichos was leading
From the root: ΜΑΛΙΧΟΣ, ΑΡΧΩ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound word formed by the proper noun 'Malichos' and a form of the verb 'archein' (to rule, to begin, to lead). It likely means 'Malichos began' or 'Malichos was ruling/leading'. The word is unusual in its direct concatenation without a space, which suggests it might be a scribal error or a very specific, perhaps poetic, compound. Given the context, it's most likely a proper noun followed by a verb.
