Some potential job titles

July 25th, 2021AD

I recently applied for a job at a student organization on the campus of a large research university. The description says that the job title is negotiable, so here are some of my favorite potential titles.

Byzantine titles

• Hypatos -- ὕπατος (consul)
• Megas Primerikos -- (Grand Primicerius)
• Patrikios -- (patrician)
• Basilikos mandator -- βασιλικὸς μανδάτωρ (Emperor's messenger)
• Spatharios -- σπαθάριος (Shieldbearer)

Some of them seem a little pompous, but I think I could finagle *hypatos* or *spatharios* or something.
