I don't know exactly, but ancient Greek translators had a way with
Hebrew.  Probably
for the same reason ben Maimon became Maimonides, it sounded better in
Greek.  The
Septuagint usually has "Salomon," with both "O's" being Omegas, not
omicrons; but
sometimes it has "Solomon."

Solomon (Shlomo) Landers
