John Trapp on Ezra 4:7

Verſe 7. And in the dayes of Artaxerxes] This ſeems to be Cambyſes his Perſian name, as Ahaſhueroſh was his Chaldee name. It is as much as Bellator egregius, an excellent warriour. So Scipi, was called Fulmen belli, the light-bolt of warre: Bajazet the great Turk,Turk. Hiſt. Gilderun, or lightning: Albert, Marqueſſe of Brandenburg, was called Achilles Teutonicus. Bucholc. Our black Prince was ſo named, not of his colour, but of his courage, and of his dreaded acts in battel: for he aſſailed no Nation which he over-came not;Speed. he beſieged no City which he took not. Cambyſes had great ſucceſſe in his wars, and added Egypt, and other Countries, to the Perſian Monarchy.

Wrote Biſhlam Mithredath] Theſe were the King of Perſia's Toparches or Deputies, beyond the river Euphrates.

Written in the Syrian tongue] Called alſo the Chaldee, Babyloniſh and Aſſyrian; commonly ſpoken by the Jewes, who in the ſeventy years captivity loſt the purity of their owne language; like as the Latines alſo did, when the Gothes, Vandals and other barbarous Nations over-ran them, and mingled with them.

And interpreted in the Syrian tongue] i. e. with Syrian characters, Et Scriptura & lingua erat Syriaca, ut ſine interprete in aula regis intelligeretur, ſaith Shindler. It was ſo written that it might be underſtood at Court without an interpreter.
