If you you check the first passover account in Ex 12, you will see that  
the LXX has PASXA (v.11), a transcription  of the  Aramaic term, rather  
than the Hebrew.  This probably means that when the  Hebrew Pentateuch  
was translated into Greek, Alexandrian Jews referred to the festival by  
that name.
