| Morphological Notes | Noun; nominative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NMS,). Derived from the present active participle of ἄρχω and functioning substantivally to denote a person characterized by ruling. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term ἄρχων is a substantival present participle from ἄρχω ("to rule, to begin"), literally meaning "one who is ruling." Rendering it as "ruling-one" preserves its verbal root and emphasizes active exercise of authority. The nominative masculine singular form is reflected by indicating it is a single male subject. |
