sca-cooks terminology for head cooks

[James and/or Nancy Gilly]

Question -

Wouldn't "architriclinus" be latin?  Particularly if it is refering to a
cook found in a roman kitchen cooking for a meal to be served in a roman
dining room which was called a triclinium (or is it -us)?  (So called
because of the usual three benches around the table.)
