Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Numbers 25:15 the APB renders her as “Cozbi daughter of Zur” while identifying her as the slain Midianite woman; in Numbers 25:18 it recalls “the matter of Cozbi” and identifies her as the daughter of a Midianite leader who was killed on the day of the plague concerning Peor.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly as “Cozbi” in both verses, first within an identification of the slain woman and then in the phrase “the matter of Cozbi.” The surrounding descriptions should not be treated as part of the name itself.
