It's not, it's in the dative:

1 arahaa/a.m/anto arahanto/aa
2 arahanta.m arahanto/e
3 arahataa/ena arahantehi/bhi
4 *arahato* arahata.m/antaana.m
5 arahataa arahantehi/bhi
6 arahato/antassa arahata.m/antaana.m
7 arahati/e arahantesu
A arahaa arahanto

(Taken from Pali Lookup)

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo
