| Comment | K. Kekelidze: “The author must have heard the story of Jews of Artaxerxes time from “Esther’s Book”, or “The History of Jews” by Josephus Flavius, or George Hamartolos’ “Chronicle”, and Hellenians’ adventures of Xerxes time – from one of the stories of old Greece” (K.Kekelidze, “The History and Eulogy of Monarchs”, as the Literary Source, Tbilisi, 1938, pg. 140-141). |
