1
In the fourth year of the reign of [1] Ptolemy and Cleopatra, Dositheus, who said he was a priest and Levite, and Ptolemy his son, brought [2] the epistle of Phrurai here set forth, which they said was the same, and that Lysimachus the son of Ptolemy, that was in Jerusalem, had interpreted it.

[3] In the second year of the reign of Artaxerxes the great, in the first day of [4] the month Nisan, [5] Mardocheus the son of Jairus, the son of Semeias, the son of Kiseus, of the tribe of Benjamin, [6] had a dream;
3
Who was a Jew, and dwelt in the city of [7] Susa, a great man, being a servitor in the king's court;
4
[8] And he was of the captivity, which Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon carried from Jerusalem with Jechonias king of Judæa; and this was his dream:
6
And, behold, [10] two great dragons came forth, both of them ready to fight, and their cry was great.
7
And at their cry all nations were ready to battle, that they might fight against [11] the righteous nation.
8
And, lo, [12] a day of darkness and gloominess, tribulation and anguish, affliction and great uproar upon the earth.
9
And [13] the whole righteous nation was troubled, fearing [14] the evils that should befall them, and were ready to perish.
10
Then they cried unto God, and upon their cry, as it were from a little fountain, there came a great [15] river, even much water.
12
Now when [17] Mardocheus, who had seen this dream, and what God had determined to do, was awake, he bare it in mind, and until night by all means was desirous to know it.
