B. Swete, The Old Testament in Greek, 19.8.1a-24a GREEK: Ὧν ἐστιν ἀντίγραφον τῆς ἐπιστολῆς τὰ ὑπογεγραμμένα· Βασιλεὺς μέγας Ἀρταξέρξης τοῖς ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰνδικῆς ἕως τῆς Αἰθιοπίας ἑκατὸν εἴκοσι ἑπτὰ σατραπείαις χωρῶν ἄρχουσι καὶ τοῖς τὰ ἡμέτερα φρονοῦσι χαίρειν. ENGLISH (draft-awaiting-approval): Of which the following is a copy of the letter: The great king Artaxerxes, to the rulers of the hundred twenty-seven satrapies of provinces from India to Ethiopia, and to those loyal to our interests, greetings. PARALLELS: - [Motif] Targum Sheni on Esther 8:13:1 (Targum Sheni on Esther) — conduit: Aramaic. Targum Sheni quotes the second edict addressed to 'the dwellers of sea and dry land, the archons of the districts and the chiefs of the armies' -- the same invented decree-address device as Addition E's opening to the satraps and loyal officials. - [Motif] Sifrei Aggadah on Esther, Midrash Panim Acherim, Version I 1:25 (Sifrei Aggadah on Esther: Midrash Panim Acherim, Version I) — conduit: lost intermediary. The gloss 'antigrafon d'iggarta' on 'patshegen ha-ketav' is the same Greek document-heading vocabulary Addition E's counter-rescript reuses (antigraphon tes epistoles) -- though note LXX Esth 3:14 (non-plus text) already renders patshegen with a form of antigraphon, so this may reflect the base translation layer rather than the plus specifically; still a genuine, if qualified, lexical echo.
