In Genesis 10:14, the form is tagged as a masculine plural absolute gentilic within the list of those begotten by Egypt; the APB renders the list as “Egypt also begot the Pathrusim, the Casluhim (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorim.” In 1 Chronicles 1:12, it is tagged as a proper noun in the corresponding sequence, where the APB renders “Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom the Philistines came out), and Caphtorim.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the term as “Casluhim” in a list with Pathrusim and Caphtorim, followed by a parenthetical statement about the Philistines. The verse is read as a whole, so the parenthesis cannot be assigned to the term alone.
