Archenor Explained

Archenor or Acheinor (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Ἀρχεήνωρ) was in Greek mythology one of the Niobids,^[1] and perhaps the same who is called by Ovid "Alphenor".^[2]

The names of the Niobids, however, differ very much in the different lists.

In commercial telegraph code, the word "Archenor" was used to signify "You must number your invoices".^[3]
