וְשָׂבֵי יְהוּדָיֵא בָּנַיִן וּמַצְלְחִין בִּנְבוּאַת חַגַּי (נביאה) [נְבִיָּא] וּזְכַרְיָה בַּר־עִדּוֹא וּבְנוֹ וְשַׁכְלִלוּ מִן־טַעַם אֱלָהּ יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִטְּעֵם כּוֹרֶשׁ וְדָרְיָוֶשׁ וְאַרְתַּחְשַׁשְׂתְּא מֶלֶךְ פָּרָֽס׃

ושבי יהודיא. וזקני היהודים היו בונין ומצליחין במלאכתן כנבואת חגי וזכריה ובנו ויסדו את הבנין מן צווי של אלהי ישראל ומרשות כורש מלך פרס הראשון אשר הוחל יסוד הבנין בימיו ומרשות דריוש זה מלך פרס:

וארתחששתא. הוא דריוש ונקרא ארתחששתא ע"ש המדינה והמלכות כי כל מלכי פרס היו נקראים כך כאשר כל מלכי מצרים נקראים פרעה:
