We continue the study of operators from an Archimedean vector lattice E into a cofinal sublattice H which have the property that there is λ > 0 such that if xE, hH and |x|≤|h|, then |Tx| ≤ λ|h|. The collection Z(E|H) of all of those operators forms an algebra under composition. We investigate the relationship between the properties of having an identity, being Abelin and being semi-simple for such-algebras, culminating in a proof that they are equivalent if H is Dedekind complete. We also study various for such an operator T, showing that, apart from 0, its spectrum relative to Z(E|H) is the same as that of T|H relative to Z(H) and that of T relative to ℒ(E) (Provided E is a Banach lattice and H is closed).
