Interesting. Thanks for the history of the book WT Sharpe.
Name changes don't surprise me. In the story of the 3 men thrown into the oven for not worshiping the king's golden idol for example they had Hebrew names and they were changed into Babylonian names (which are the ones recorded for the story). Each culture has something slightly different. Like Zimmerman in German means Carpenter for example.
