( Πειρά ) , a name found in the apocryphal account of the family-heads who returned from the Captivity with Zerubbabel (1 Esdr. 5, 19); but not contained in the parallel Heb. texts ( Ezra 2:25; Nehemiah 7:29), and evidently originating from a repetition of the name Caphira preceding.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]
pı̄´ra ( οἱ ἐκ Πειρᾶς , hoi ek Peirás (1 Esdras 5:19)): Thought to be a repetition of Caphira (which see) earlier in the verse.
