Against the English: English versions follow whichever spelling each verse has (Tarea in 8:35, Tahrea in 9:41). Readers may wrongly think these are two different people.
Used elsewhere in the period: Found only in 1 Chr 8:35 and 9:41. Copyists confused the throat letters ח (ḥ) and א (ʾ) in other places too.
