I did a search for *x (means words ending in x) at Woerterbuchnetz, and here's specifically the Lexer subset of the results:
antrax (for edelstein)
ax (for ackes)
bax
balax (eine art blasser oder auch ganz weisser rubine)
crûzifix
eppenax (for eckesahs)
fenix
flux
fix (rasch, schnell)
kex
mort-ax (for mort-ackes)
pox (for bocks, with the note "often in Fastnachtspielen")
sëx (for sehs)
strax (for strackes)
tax
So, pox is in line with ax, eppenax, sex and strax, all of which use x as substitution for ck[e]s or hs.
bax, as far as I understand, is the variant of pox (expletive).
Also notable is balax which is same as balas (blass) and thus supports Aga's idea expressed in the other thread that -x as the word ending may be variant of -ss, that is e.g. "marix morix vix" may be read as "maris moris vis"
