The form is tagged Noun · Proper in both occurrences and follows Arioch's title as king. In Genesis 14:1 the APB renders "Arioch king of Ellasar" among several kings; Genesis 14:9 repeats that designation when naming the four kings.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Genesis 14:1 and Genesis 14:9, the APB presents the term in the repeated phrase "Arioch king of Ellasar." The verse is read as a whole, but both clauses place it after Arioch's royal title.
