Re: names of children in the "Apocalypse of Moses"
I can't for the life of me think of how you would translate ἀδιάφορα into Hebrew or Aramaic. Note that Bar Serapion uses the Greek term. Maybe the reason the text became corrupted is that it was preserved by a scribe who didn't know Greek. It would make sense to call Cain 'indifferent' because of "am I my brother's watcher?"
