Hi,

That IP address used to belong to Faravahar, which is in the progress
of being relocated and
hasn't found its new home yet
(https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40688). You
can safely ignore this error.
If you want a more up to date list, you can check the IP shown on metrics.tpo:
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html?#search/flag:authority

Regards,
trinity-1686a
