anchiton might be interpretable as "anzi con".
I've wondered for a while if the "ch" might be Greek letter chi, which was sometimes written as "x". The "ton" is a very common Greek word (also French).
This led me to anxiton or anxi ton, but that still didn't yield much in any language (it's "hips" in Italian, but that doesn't seem to fit within this context), and then I remembered anzi from Italian, but it wouldn't make sense if followed by "ton" unless... that is a "c" instead of a "t" (they are often written the same in old manuscripts).
Which led to "anzi con"... which would not be an unusual way to start a charm, chant, or remedy, especially if the next word were a noun.
By itself, "o la dabas" makes sense in Spanish (or give that/or given) but it's not so easy to rationalize the combination of anzi con o la dabas with an "o" (or) in between.
But, if it's "ola" instead of "o la" and if "ola" is some ingredient like oil or egg or ??, then, "Anzi con ola dabas" might be a way of saying, "Indeed with "ola" take/give + miltos (Greek: cinnabar, Latvian: flour)..."
Cinnabar was toxic but was, in fact, a medicinal ingredient in the middle ages.
