Notum sit regi quia Judæi, qui ascenderunt a te ad nos, venerunt in Jerusalem civitatem rebellem et pessimam, quam ædificant exstruentes muros ejus, et parietes componentes.
Vulgate
γνωστὸν ἔστω τῷ βασιλεῖ ὅτι οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀναβάντες ἀπὸ Κύρου ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς ἤλθοσαν εἰς Ἰερουσαλημ· τὴν ἀποστάτιν καὶ πονηρὰν οἰκοδομοῦσιν, καὶ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς κατηρτισμένοι εἰσίν, καὶ θεμελίους αὐτῆς ἀνύψωσαν.
LXX
Be it known unto the king, that the Jews that came up from thee are come to us unto Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and have finished the walls, and repaired the foundations.
