Rambam listed what the requirements of Mashiach are, who it is, and what Mashiach must accomplish in order to be considered Mashiach

Translating a word doesn't mean they understand the concept or even accept the concept.

OK. But it would of course be anachronistic to expect the LXX translators to understand Rambam's 12th century CE concept of the Mashiach. But this concept is just as irrelevant to this list as the Christian concept of Christ. Despite some claims on both sides, no doubt, the Hebrew Bible concept of the Mashiach is not controlled by these later understandings, although it may be illustrated by them.
