yes, you're righ; domini is singular i.e. "lord"
It should not refer to God but to the fact that somebody is authorized to sign on behalf of the archbishop.

I would say so, like in this example concerning Pope Pius XII: "by special mandate of our Most Holy Lord, Pius XII ..."
Note from asker:
Thank you!
but domini is singular - do you mean God (Lord)?
Dear Joseph and Francoise, should the translation read then "upon mandate of most eminent and reverend LORD(singular)"?
