    All four occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Ezra 2:8 and Nehemiah 7:13, the APB renders clauses counting “The sons of Zattu”; in Ezra 10:27, it renders a list introduced as “from the sons of Zattu.” Nehemiah 10:15 places the proper name in a sequence of names, though the APB renders only “Bunni, Azgad, Bebai,” so its specific contribution is not isolated there.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents the name in “sons of Zattu” clauses in Ezra 10:27, Ezra 2:8, and Nehemiah 7:13. In Nehemiah 10:15 it gives a neighboring name sequence without visibly representing the term.
