[3:36] 1 tc It is possible that the name Καϊνάμ (Kainam) should be omitted, since two key mss, Ì75vid and D, lack it. But the omission may be a motivated reading: This name is not found in the editions of the Hebrew OT, though it is in the LXX, at Gen 11:12 and 10:24.

The translation above has adopted the more common spelling “Cainan,” although it is based on the reading Καϊνάμ.
