"Branch" is a translation of the Hebrew "Tsemax". "Sunrise" is "Zarax". My 
guess would be that the vorlage used by the LXX had ZRX instead of CMX by 
scribal error and translated accordingly. Interesting, since Zerah is also 
the brother of Perez, son of Judah, from whom David (and the Messiah) is 
descended.
