Hmm.... different than the Hebrew, but even the Greek reads ABBA for her name, which is ironic in itself.
the targum for Chronicles also reads Abiyah, tho. so there are two witnesses for the Hebrew, while the Aramaic and Greek have their independant readings.
i've recently done a lot of cross-referencing between the names found in Chronicles as to the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek textual witnesses, and the error in transliterating is quite often. alot of misreading of letters. some can be explained as errors from the Hebrew, and some from the Aramaic.
