GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Religion / Official Institutions
Italian term or phrase: Archimandritato
Term found in the heading of an Italian baptism certificate (i.e. "Archidiocesi e Archimandritato di.....)
I could only find the English translation of "Archimandrita", = "Archimandrite/Atchimandrites".
Would "Archimandritate" be acceptable, or is there a better way?
Thank you in anticipation,

archimandritate
Explanation:
I know it's a mouthful, but it has a very specific meaning within the orthodox church and you shouldn't try to find equivalents.

  • A congregation of Basilian monks existing in Sicily ... has been under the care of an archimandrite apparently from that time. Its head abbey is ... in Messina, and it forms an exempt archimandritate immediately dependent on the pope.
