"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.

In Zechariah 6:12 The Name Tsemach translates Branch, in Greek it translates anatole, which means rising of the sun. can anyone explain why?
