GREEK: μὴ παραδῷς, Κύριε, τὸ σκῆπτρόν σου τοῖς μὴ οὖσιν, καὶ μὴ καταγελασάτωσαν ἐν τῇ πτώσει ἡμῶν, ἀλλὰ στρέψον τὴν βουλὴν αὐτῶν ἐπʼ αὐτούς· τὸν δὲ ἀρξάμενον ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς παραδειγμάτισον.
ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): Do not hand over your scepter, Lord, to those who are nothing, and do not let them laugh at our downfall; but turn their own plan back upon them, and make an example of the one who began this against us.

PARALLELS:
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 16a:3:1 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'He prepared it for himself' -- the gallows recoiling on its builder -- is the specific reversal Addition C's petition anticipates: 'turn their own plan back upon them.'
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 15b:16:1 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. Punishment coming to the wicked 'out of their own banquet' is the same reversal-at-their-own-hand Addition C's petition requests.
- [Motif] Targum Sheni on Esther 9:25:1 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. 'Haman devised an evil scheme against Israel, and his scheme came up on his own head, and they crucified him' is the specific poetic-justice formula matching Addition C's petition to turn their plot back upon them and make an example of the one who began it.
- [Motif] Megillah 16a:3 (Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'He prepared it for himself' (Haman's gallows turned on him) is the precise reversal-of-plot-upon-plotter the plus's prayer requests: 'turn their own plan back upon them.'
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 16a:22:1 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'The Holy One hurls calamity on the wicked without pity,' said of Haman's fall, matches Addition C's plea to 'make an example of the one who began this against us.'
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 12b:11:1 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. Haman glossed as 'ready for punishment -- standing to be hanged' is the specific designation-as-example Addition C's petition requests.
- [Flagged] Targum Sheni on Esther 5:1:3 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. 'Exact our insult from Haman... break Haman, and let there be no rising from his fall' is the specific direct petition matching Addition C's plea to turn the plot back upon its author.
- [Motif] Targum Sheni on Esther 9:14:1 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. 'You devised evil against Israel, and the Knower of secrets raised your device upon your own head' is the same recurring, specific poetic-justice formula matching Addition C's petition to turn their plan back upon them.
