The same thing occurs in the Vilna edition of the Midrash Rabbot, where Akra's treatise is reproduced from the Shene Luḥot ha-Berit.

Akra's work appeared originally as an appendix to the Arze Lebanon, a collection of kabalistic essays, Venice, 1601.

Abraham makes there the interesting statement that he saw in Egypt the manuscript of the Midrash Abkir.
