English term or phrase: EALDORMAN
Hello everyone!

I' m new here, so excuse my mistakes! Does anyone know what the word "ealdorman" means in greek? It's a high-ranking royal official and prior magistrate of an Anglo-Saxon but I need a greek word. Any ideas?

αρχηγός φυλής, προεστός | αντιβασιλιάς
Explanation:
αρχηγός φυλής, προεστός. πρόκριτος, αντιβασιλιάς, τοπάρχης και ίσως και άλλα συναφή. Δεν υπάρχει μια παγιωμένη απόδοση. Ας σημειωθεί η εξής παρατήρηση στο OED:

In OE. the special title of one exercising authority under the king, over a former kingdom, as Mercia, a district, or county; a viceroy or lord-lieutenant. Used also to translate Lat. princeps, subregulus, optimas, satrapa, dux, comes, præpositus; and, in a more general sense, many other words, as pontifex, architriclinus, presbyter, senator, etc.
