Compare to Gr.Νέστωρ ούρος Αχαιών - Nestor, Warden of the Achaeans It is also suggested that ΟΥΡΟΥΑΝ means father in a religious sense. In some bilingual inscriptions it corresponds the Greek word πατήρ which has been used in many cases for the high official in the cult of Mithras. See DREW-BEAR – A. LUBOTSKY – M.
