Archenor or Acheinor ( Ancient Greek: 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]
