GREEK: πάντων γνῶσιν ἔχεις, καὶ οἶδας ὅτι ἐμίσησα δόξαν ἀνόμων, καὶ βδελύσσομαι κοίτην ἀπεριτμήτων καὶ παντὸς ἀλλοτρίου.
ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): You have knowledge of all things, and you know that I have hated the glory of the lawless, and I abhor the bed of the uncircumcised and of any foreigner.

PARALLELS:
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 13b:7:1 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. Esther's immersion so as not to be repulsive to 'the righteous man' after lying with the gentile king matches Addition C's abhorrence of 'the bed of the uncircumcised.'
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 15a:14:1 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'Until now I was taken by force' is Esther's own account of coercion in the union Addition C disavows.
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 15a:14:2 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'From now on, of my own will' -- marking the point the union becomes culpable -- belongs to the same account of the marriage Addition C disowns.
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 15a:14:3 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'I am lost to you and forbidden to you' states the specific defilement of the union Addition C denies ever embracing.
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 15b:7:2 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. 'Even though I go to him of my own accord, it is coercion' is the same plea of unwillingness in the gentile king's bed Addition C makes.
- [Flagged] Aramaic Targum to Esther 5:1 (Aramaic Targum to Esther (Targum Rishon)) — conduit: Aramaic. Esther's prayer calls Ahasuerus 'this uncircumcised one (arla)' -- the same specific term applied to the king that the plus uses for the bed she abhors.
- [Flagged] Targum Sheni on Esther 3:8:1 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. Haman's charge that Jews 'will not give us their daughters and will not take ours' is the same specific refusal of intermarriage Esther claims as a virtue in Addition C ('I abhor the bed of the uncircumcised'), voiced by the accuser rather than the accused.
- [Motif] Targum Sheni on Esther 4:11:1 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. Esther's own 30-day prayer that the king not summon her, grounded in Mordecai's rule that a willing Israelite bride of a gentile forfeits her portion, is the specific ground for Addition C's abhorrence of 'the bed of the uncircumcised.'
- [Motif] Megillah 13b:7 (Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. Esther immersing after leaving Ahasuerus's lap to sit in Mordecai's treats union with the gentile king as defiling, matching 'I abhor the bed of the uncircumcised and of any foreigner.'
- [Flagged] Megillah 15a:14 (Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. R. Abba's 'until now under compulsion, now willingly' -- Esther's coerced relations with the king -- matches the plus's revulsion at 'the bed of the uncircumcised and of any foreigner.'
- [Motif] Sifrei Aggadah on Esther, Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II 2:8 (Sifrei Aggadah on Esther: Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II) — conduit: lost intermediary. Esther hides herself for four years specifically so as not to be taken to the king's bed while gentile girls offer themselves -- the same specific unwillingness to enter the foreign king's bed that Addition C voices ('I abhor the bed of the uncircumcised').
- [Motif] Rashi on Megillah 15a:5:1 (Rashi on Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. Malachi's intermarriage indictment is applied here specifically to Esther's situation, matching Addition C's abhorrence of 'the bed of the uncircumcised and of any foreigner.'
- [Motif] Esther Rabbah 6:6 (Esther Rabbah) — conduit: oral. 'אפשר לצדקת זאת שתנשא לערל' (can this righteous woman be married to an uncircumcised man) shares the specific term 'uncircumcised' (ערל) applied to the identical referent — Esther's marriage to Ahasuerus — as Addition C's 'I abhor the bed of the uncircumcised.' Ruled motif rather than verbatim: the agreement is a single word.
- [Flagged] Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 1056:7 (Yalkut Shimoni on Esther (Remez 1046-1061)) — conduit: lost intermediary. 'במוך היתה משמשת' — Esther used a barrier device to avoid real union with the gentile king — a concrete practice expressing exactly the plus's abhorrence of the bed of the uncircumcised; not MT material.
