My main interest is that the user spelled this word correctly (it appears in a piece by Cotton Mather - I believe), and most importantly, where would the accent marks fall. It supposedly means a "an old man (in accomplishments) while still young." Is that accurate?

accent would be on the epsilon in "yeron"
If this word is spelled "paidarioyeron"
(with an "alpha" after the "delta" instead of an "omicron") it would mean
either a child-like old man, an immature old person (both derogatory terms) --- or could also mean a youthful elderly person.
