Artahsasta .............. Artahsasta(TB)/Artahsasta .................. Artahsasta(TL) <0783> [A.M. 3482. B.C. 522. Artaxerxes.]

This Artaxerxes was one of the Magi, who usurped the throne after the death of Cambyses, for seven months, feigning himself to be Smerdis, brother of Cambyses: he is called Oropoestus by Justin, Smerdis by Herodotus, Mardus by AEschylus, and Sphendatates by Ctesias.

Bislam(TB/TL) <01312> [Bishlam. or, in peace. companions. Heb. societies.]

bahasa ...... bahasa(TB)/huruf Arami ...... bahasa Aramipun(TL) <0762> [the Syrian tongue.]

That is, probably, both the language and character were Syrian or Chaldaic; and therefore, from the 8th verse of this chapter, to ch. 7:27, the original is not Hebrew, but Chaldee, in those parts which consist of letters, decrees, etc., originally written in that language.
