Yes, what I wrote is not what I meant and I made a hurried mistake by
writing YHWH rather than the eheyeh I was thinking of. I am not proficient
in Hebrew and not familiar with the proper transliteration of Hebrew. What I
was thinking of but did not check was the LXX of Ex 3:14 where eheyeh asher
eheyeh (I am who I am) is rendered EGW EIMI hO WN. And I was thinking of the
normal way in Orthodox Greek tradition to use the hO WN as a title.

Thanks for correcting me,

Iver Larsen
