I actually wouldn't commit myself to anything on the letter(s) before "chiton". The way they are written is too unconventional and unclear and somewhat out of character with the rest of the letters.
The next part is clear enough, however. It could be "chiton" or... could also be two words "chi" "ton" and keep in mind that what is transcribed "ton" from Greek is written in Greek with a letter that looks like a "v" in Latin.
The word does refer to cast iron, but it also refers a little more generically to a variety of cast items, including lamps (since they were common). We do something similar in English. We use "iron" to refer to the metal, but we also use it to mean clothes iron since the original clothing irons were made of iron.
I've often wondered if "pox" might be Greek ροχ or ρωχ. But neither is a common word, at least not by themselves. Sometimes Latin texts will use Greek chi in its original form, so you get rho written as "r", but the "x" left in its original form, but that doesn't yield common Greek words either and it would be weird to follow them with a Germanic word like lebe/leber/leben.
