Me again
Researching h2eryós, I believe I may have a clear case of an epithet element containing the word aristo, which shares the PIE root *h2ér- with the Sanskrit ārya. -istos is the superlative suffix.
Similar to Germanic and Iranian epithets containing such respective cognates
See *arja-gernaz (zealous noble) and Ariobarzanēs (exalting the Aryans).
The word in question here is Ἀριστόμαχος From ἄριστος (áristos, “best”) + μάχη (mákhē, “fight”) + -ος (-os).
a.ris.tó.ma.kʰos and would mean "noblest fighter"

And in another thread, i also find another cognate in Burushashki
