GREEK: μνήσθητι, Κύριε, γνώσθητι ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως ἡμῶν, καὶ ἐμὲ θάρσυνον, βασιλεῦ τῶν θεῶν καὶ πάσης ἀρχῆς ἐπικρατῶν·
ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): Remember, Lord; make yourself known in this time of our affliction, and give me courage, king of gods and ruler over every dominion;

PARALLELS:
- [Flagged] Esther Rabbah 8:7 (Esther Rabbah) — conduit: medieval retranslation. 'ותנה אותי לרחמים לפני האיש הזה כי יראתיו' (grant me favor before this man, for I fear him) matches Addition C's plea for courage before the feared king in this hour of affliction — a shared, non-MT prayer content (the generic 'favor' vocabulary itself is MT's, but the prayer-for-courage framing is not).
- [Flagged] Megillah 15b:14 (Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'Perhaps the Omnipresent will take notice and work a miracle for us' closely matches the plus's 'make yourself known in this time of our affliction, and give me courage.'
- [Motif] Targum Sheni on Esther 5:1:6 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. 'Remember at this hour... let my request not be turned back' shares the specific temporal-crisis framing of Addition C's 'Remember, Lord; make yourself known in this time of our affliction.' One of the parallels the scholarly literature already records (control P05).
- [Motif] Sifrei Aggadah on Esther, Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II 3:10 (Sifrei Aggadah on Esther: Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II) — conduit: lost intermediary. 'The people to do with them as you please' is read as meaning the king deals not with them but with God ('in all their affliction he was afflicted... I am with him in trouble') -- matching Addition C's 'make yourself known in this time of our affliction' at the identical narrative moment.
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 15b:14:2 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. Esther's stated reason for inviting Haman, 'that the Holy One should take notice,' matches Addition C's plea in this verse, 'make yourself known in this time of our affliction.'
- [Flagged] Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 1056:13 (Yalkut Shimoni on Esther (Remez 1046-1061)) — conduit: lost intermediary. 'ותלבש אסתר מלכות... שלבשתה רוח הקדש' makes donning the royal robes a reception of the Holy Spirit at the very point the plus asks for courage; not MT (MT only records the clothing, with no such empowerment).
