B. Swete, The Old Testament in Greek, 19.3.1a-7a GREEK: ἐν πάσαις ταῖς κατὰ τὴν οἰκουμένην φυλαῖς ἀναμεμίχθαι δυσμενῆ λαόν τινα, τοῖς νόμοις ἀντίθετον πρὸς πᾶν ἔθνος, τά τε τῶν βασιλέων παραπέμποντας διηνεκῶς προστάγματα, πρὸς τὸ μὴ κατατίθεσθαι τὴν ὑφʼ ἡμῶν κατευθυνομένην ἀμέμπτως συναρχίαν. ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): that a certain hostile people is mixed in among all the tribes throughout the inhabited world, opposed in its laws to every nation, continually disregarding the ordinances of kings, so as to obstruct the blameless joint government we direct. PARALLELS: - [Motif] Otzar Midrashim, Midrashim on Megilat Esther, Drash on Purim 8 (Otzar Midrashim: Drash on Purim) — conduit: lost intermediary. 'There is among us one nation, despised and haughty of spirit, and the cursing of the king is in their mouth' escalates beyond MT 3:8's bare charge to active hostility/cursing, matching Addition B's amplified rhetoric of a hostile people defying royal law. - [Motif] Targum Sheni on Esther 3:8:8 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. On the Day of Atonement they curse the king and pray outright for his death and the breaking of his rule -- a specific escalation beyond MT's general 'do not keep the king's laws,' matching Addition B's charge that this nation continually disregards royal ordinances.
