The name does not occur elsewhere, and the variety of readings is considerable: '''''Ι᾿Αμβρί''''' , '''''Ι᾿Αμβρεϊ''''' v '''''Ν''''' , '''''Ἀμβροί''''' , '''''Ἀμβρί''''' ; Syr. ''Ambrei.'' [[Josephus]] ''(.At. 13:'' 1, 2) read '''''Οί''''' '''''Αιου''''' '''''Παῖδες''''' , and it seems almost certain that the true reading is '''''Ἀμρί''''' (- '''''Εί''''' ), a form which occurs elsewhere ( 1 Kings 16:22; Joseph. Ant. 8:12 5, '''''Ἀμαρῖνος''''' ; 1 Chronicles 27:18, Heb. '''''עָמְרַי''''' ,Yulcg.
