in the citadel, in the fortified palace (Aramaic emphatic state)
Ezra 6:2 records that the decree of Cyrus was found 'in the citadel (בְּבִירְתָא) that is in the province of Media, at Ecbatana.' This Aramaic noun (emphatic state) denotes a fortified palace or administrative center where important documents were stored. The term appears in Aramaic papyri and Nabatean inscriptions, sometimes referring to temples. Finding the decree in the Median citadel confirmed its authenticity and authorized the temple rebuilding in Jerusalem.

1. sense 1 — Ezra 6:2's 'in the citadel' (בְּבִירְתָא) specifies where Darius's officials found Cyrus's original decree authorizing temple reconstruction. Spanish 'en la fortaleza' (in the fortress), English 'in the citadel' capture the sense of a fortified administrative center. The Aramaic emphatic state marks this as a specific, known citadel at Ecbatana. That royal decrees were archived in such secure locations reflects Persian administrative practice, and the discovery there validates the Jews' claim. 1×
