GREEK: καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα πάσας τὰς θύρας κατέστη ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως· καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσαν στολὴν τῆς ἐπιφανείας αὐτοῦ ἐνεδεδύκει, ὅλος διὰ χρυσοῦ καὶ λίθων πολυτελῶν, καὶ ἦν φοβερὸς σφόδρα.
ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): And passing through every door, she stood before the king; and he was sitting upon the throne of his kingdom, clothed in the full robe of his splendor, entirely in gold and precious stones, and he was very fearsome.

PARALLELS:
- [Motif] Sifrei Aggadah on Esther, Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II 1:4 (Sifrei Aggadah on Esther: Midrash Panim Acherim, Version II) — conduit: lost intermediary. The witness's extended ekphrasis of Solomon's jewelled, gold-and-gem throne (with terrifying mechanisms) matches the plus's distinctive image of the king 'entirely in gold and precious stones, and very fearsome' at the audience scene -- a specific shared elaboration MT lacks.
- [Flagged] Megillah 15b:7 (Bavli Megillah 9a-17a) — conduit: oral. Esther 'passing through every door' matches the witness's specific elaboration of her physical passage through the palace, including the hall of images, en route to the king.
- [Motif] Targum Sheni on Esther 5:1:7 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. 'She stood at the inner gate facing the king's house, and the king was sitting on his royal throne... facing the king's gate' is the specific structural framing matching Addition D's queen passing through every door to stand before the enthroned king.
- [Flagged] Aramaic Targum to Esther 5:1 (Aramaic Targum to Esther (Targum Rishon)) — conduit: Aramaic. The king sitting on his throne 'looking straight opposite the gate of the house' is a specific staging detail matching the plus's account of Esther passing through every door to stand before the enthroned king; not in MT.
- [Verbatim] Esther Rabbah 9:1 (Esther Rabbah) — conduit: medieval retranslation. she stands before him; the king on his royal throne in gold and precious stones (בלבוש זהב ואבן יקרה).
