I. ARTAXERXES, otherwise called Ahasuerus. The Greek of Esther calls him always Artaxerxes; the Hebrew and Vulgate, Ahasuerus. We are of opinion, that this celebrated King of Persia, is he who in profane Authors is named Darius the Son of Hystaspes. See what we have said on this subject in the Article of AHASUERUS.
