1. Artaxerxes (Persian king, form II) — The proper noun Artaxerxes (אַרְתַּחְשַׁשְׂתָּא), the second orthographic form of the Persian king's name appearing in Ezra-Nehemiah. Multilingual evidence confirms a single royal referent: eng 'Artachshasht/Artachshasta', spa 'Artajerjes/Artaĥshashta', hin 'अर्तक्षस्त', arb 'أَرْتَحْشَسْتَا/أَرْتَحْشَسْتا', kor '아르다셔스다', swa 'Artashasta'. The two clusters differ only in prepositional context (directional 'to Artaxerxes' vs. conjunctive 'and Artaxerxes'), both identifying the same Persian monarch who authorized the Jerusalem restoration. 7×
