GREEK: καὶ γενηθεῖσα ἐπιφανής, ἐπικαλεσαμένη τὸν πάντων ἐπόπτην θεὸν καὶ σωτῆρα, παρέλαβεν τὰς δύο ἅβρας, καὶ τῇ μὲν μιᾷ ἐπηρείδετο ὡς τρυφερευομένη, ἡ δὲ ἑτέρα ἐπηκολούθει κουφίζουσα τὴν ἔνδυσιν αὐτῆς·
ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): And becoming radiant, having called upon the God who watches over and saves all, she took her two maids; on one she leaned as though delicately, while the other followed, lightening her clothing;

PARALLELS:
- [Flagged] Aramaic Targum to Esther 5:1 (Aramaic Targum to Esther (Targum Rishon)) — conduit: Aramaic. The holy spirit resting on her and her prayer to the 'Master of the world' just before entering matches the plus's calling on 'the God who watches over and saves all' at the same threshold moment.
- [Flagged] Otzar Midrashim, Midrashim on Megilat Esther, Midrash on the Book of Esther 7 (Otzar Midrashim: Midrash on the Book of Esther) — conduit: lost intermediary. Three angels aid Esther at the audience (one raises her neck, one draws a thread of grace over her, one stretches the scepter) -- supernatural assistance during the audience scene that MT does not narrate, matching Addition D's divine intervention as she approaches the king.
- [Flagged] Megillah 15b:9 (Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. Three attendant angels supporting Esther as she enters the king's presence is the same structural beat as the plus's two maids, one leaned on and one bearing her train.
- [Flagged] Yalkut Shimoni on Nach 1056:13 (Yalkut Shimoni on Esther (Remez 1046-1061)) — conduit: lost intermediary. The same clothing-with-ruaḥ-ha-qodesh answers the plus's 'becoming radiant, having called upon God'; goes beyond MT's bare notice of her royal apparel.
- [Verbatim] Esther Rabbah 9:1 (Esther Rabbah) — conduit: medieval retranslation. two maids; she leans on one 'by royal custom' (ὡς τρυφερευομένη), the other follows holding up her jewels (κουφίζουσα τὴν ἔνδυσιν).
