In the Aramaic portion of the book of Ezra (Ezr 4,8–6,18) Ezr 5,6–6,14 forms a separate literary unit in which, in contrast to the other parts of Ezr 1–6, elders appear as the authorised political representatives of Judaea. The investigation of the text shows that in Ezr 5f. it is very likely that original documents from the Persian period are not reproduced; on the contrary various clues point to a Hellenistic date for the writing of this section. Since a body of elders in a position of authority is attested for the Hellenistic period – while such proof for the Persian period stands or falls with the interpretation of Ezr 5f. – it seems probable that the passage was composed by such circles in the Hellenistic period.
