and with him 200 men
on Ezra 8:4-14
Eleven lay houses follow, each with its own count, beginning with Eliehoenai of Pahath-Moab and 200 men. Pahath-Moab, Adin and Elam also stand in Ezra 2 and Nehemiah 7, where the numerals differ. The difference is traced to copyists or to two stages of one register, with no verdict given.

from the descendants of Bebai
Bebai had sent 623 men with the first return, by the count of Ezra 2:11. Its 28 are the smallest company in this roll. Four men of the same house are named at Ezra 10:28 among those who had married foreign women.
