(213.237.6.5) at 22:13 GMT-7 on the 20th, but I figured that it must
be something other than NTP, since AFAIK NTP only runs over UDP.

Possibly but tcp-123 is reserved for NTP...  Another thought that
occurred to me was that it was a typo and they meant to scan for
1234 or 12345, both popular trojan ports, This seems unlikely since
it would appear that this wasn't a single scan.
