[Verginius Rufus]

In the Septuagint translation of 38.1, the name "Mesoch" could be "Mosoch" (both forms are found in the manuscripts--the Alfred Rahlfs edition prints Mosoch in the text and mentions the variant reading in the notes).

The word applied to Rhos, arkhonta, is a general word for "ruler" or "commander." It is the participle form of the verb arkho maning "to be first," "to lead the way,' "to begin," "to rule, be leader of."

Thanks. I notice both variations you listed are used in my translation, which is Brenton, 1851.
