Kingdom of Araba → Kingdom of Hatra – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Looking at the sources we have about the Kingdom of Araba, the word 'Araba' is never used to refer to the kingdom. Instead, 'Hatra' is used.

Some examples:

The Middle East Under Rome

Hatra and the Parthian Commonwealth

The Cambridge Ancient History: Volume 12, The Crisis of Empire, AD 193-337
