Wesley's Notes for Ezra 4:7

4:7 Artaxerxes - Cambyses, called by his Chaldee name, Ahashuerus, ver.#6|, and here by his Persian name, Artaxerxes: by which he is here called in the inscription of this letter, because so he was called by himself, and others in the letters written either by him; or to him. Interpreted - It was written in the Chaldee or Syrian language, and in the Syrian character: for sometimes the Chaldee or Syrian words are written in the Hebrew character.
