Added link to Strong's Numbers page here.
At [[Luke 2:2]] the governor is named as Cyrenius in the Authorised Version (KJV) and as Quirinius in many modern translations.
There is no contradiction in the Bible text in ancient Greek. That certainly reads Κυρηνίου. That word has [[Bible words and their meaning—Strong's Numbers|Strong's number ]] 2958, which Strong transliterates as Kurēnios.
The German Luther Bible and, later, the KJV change Kurēnios into letters which existed in the Latin alphabet. Although that alphabet is similar to ours, it does not, for example, contain the letter K, so that was replaced by C. The ending -os is replaced by -us, which would be appropriate for a Roman man. Hence Cyrenius. In the German language, an obvious pronunciation of the word Cyrenius is Ku-rain-ius, which sounds similar to Kurēnios.
