GREEK: φῶς καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλεν, καὶ οἱ ταπεινοὶ ὑψώθησαν καὶ κατέφαγον τοὺς ἐνδόξους.
ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): there was light, and the sun rose, and the lowly were exalted and devoured the honored.

PARALLELS:
- [Flagged] Otzar Midrashim, Midrashim on Megilat Esther, Midrash on the Book of Esther 6 (Otzar Midrashim: Midrash on the Book of Esther) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'The cloud and gloom lifted from that nation and the sun and light shone on it as at first' matches the plus's light-and-sunrise resolution of the dream at the same narrative position.
- [Verbatim] Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 1056:4 (Yalkut Shimoni on Esther (Remez 1046-1061)) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'ויזרח השמש ויאר... ויתרומם הגוי הקטן' matches across two clauses the plus's 'the sun rose... the lowly were exalted,' an image absent from MT.
- [Motif] Rashi on Esther 6:13:1 (Rashi on Esther) — conduit: lost intermediary. Zeresh's maxim that this nation falls to dust and rises to the stars is the same sudden high/low inversion as 'the lowly were exalted and devoured the honored,' independently imaged.
- [Verbatim] Esther Rabbah 8:5 (Esther Rabbah) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'זרחה השמש...ויתרומם הגוי הקטן והגבוהים השפלו' directly renders 'ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλεν...οἱ ταπεινοὶ ὑψώθησαν' — sun rising and the low/high reversal — a specific matched image sequence, not MT's.
- [Motif] Megillah 16a:15 (Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'When they descend they descend to the dust, when they rise they rise to the stars,' at the turn of Haman's fortune, matches the plus's 'the lowly were exalted and devoured the honored.'
- [Motif] Megillah 16a:10 (Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. Mordecai literally treading on Haman as he mounts matches the plus's lowly-exalted-over-the-honored image.
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 16b:8:1 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'Light -- this is Torah' expounds deliverance as dawning light, the specific light-and-sunrise image the dream turns on.
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 12b:11:2 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'The commoner leaps to the head' -- the least man vaulting over his betters -- matches 'the lowly were exalted and devoured the honored' exactly.
