(איתיאל ואכל, 'īthī'ēl we'ukhāl):

Names of the two men to whom Agur the son of Jakeh spoke his words (Proverbs 30:1). The purport of introducing these persons is strange and obscure; the margin proposes therefore, by the use of a different pointing, to read the verse, “The man said, I have wearied myself, O God, I have wearied myself, O God, and am consumed,” thus doing away with the proper names; a reading which corresponds not inaptly with the tone of the succeeding verses.

See Agur; Book Of Proverbs, II, 6.
