מדיא H4077
the Madai; Median (variant gentilic form)
Another form for 'Mede,' appearing in Daniel 5:31 (Ketiv: מדיא, Qere: מָדָאָה). This textual variant shows scribal awareness of different spellings for the same ethnic designation. Like H4075, it identifies Darius ethnically. The Ketiv-Qere variation suggests pronunciation shifted over time, but the meaning remained constant: someone from Media.

1. sense 1 — Daniel 5:31 marks the transition from Babylonian to Medo-Persian rule. The textual variant (Ketiv vs Qere) is a spelling issue, not a semantic one. Translations handle this consistently as 'the Mede,' recognizing it as the same ethnic identifier as H4075, just with orthographic variation. 1×
