B. Swete, The Old Testament in Greek, 19.4.1a-30a GREEK: καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἐταπείνωσεν σφόδρα, καὶ πάντα τόπον κόσμου ἀγαλλιάματος αὐτῆς ἔπλησε στρεπτῶν τριχῶν αὐτῆς· ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): and she humbled her body greatly, and every place that had adorned her rejoicing she filled with her disheveled hair; PARALLELS: - [Verbatim] Esther Rabbah 8:7 (Esther Rabbah) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'ותפרע שער ראשה' (she let her hair down) is part of the same densely-matching sentence as the robes/sackcloth/ashes clause, corresponding to Addition C's 'ἔπλησε στρεπτῶν τριχῶν αὐτῆς' (filled with her disheveled hair). - [Motif] Targum Sheni on Esther 5:1:1 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. She rises 'bent over and not upright' from the three fasts -- the specific bodily posture matching Addition C's 'she humbled her body greatly.' One of the parallels the scholarly literature already records (control P05). - [Flagged] Sifrei Aggadah on Esther, Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II 6:5 (Sifrei Aggadah on Esther: Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II) — conduit: lost intermediary. The mourning assembly includes women with hair loosed and unbound ('nashim se'aran satur') -- the rare, concrete detail of disheveled hair as a mourning gesture that MT never supplies, matching Addition C's Esther filling with disheveled hair 'every place that had adorned her rejoicing.' - [Motif] Sifrei Aggadah on Esther, Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II 2:11 (Sifrei Aggadah on Esther: Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II) — conduit: lost intermediary. Hegai's recurring question, 'why do you not adorn yourself like all the women,' establishes Esther's habitual disowning of adornment -- matching Addition C's 'she humbled her body greatly' as a specific refusal of beautification.
