1 Esdras

1 Esdras 6:27

προσέταξε δὲ ἐπιμεληθῆναι Σισίννῃ ἐπάρχῳ Συρίας καὶ Φοινίκης καὶ Σαθραβουζάνῃ καὶ τοῖς συνεταίροις καὶ τοῖς ἀποτεταγμένοις ἐν Συρίᾳ καὶ Φοινίκῃ ἡγεμόσιν ἀπέχεσθαι τοῦ τόπου, ἐᾶσαι δὲ τὸν παῖδα Κυρίου Ζοροβάβελ, ἔπαρχον δὲ τῆς ᾿Ιουδαίας, καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῶν ᾿Ιουδαίων τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Κυρίου ἐκεῖνον οἰκοδομεῖν ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου.
King James Version (KJV)

And also he commanded that Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, and their companions, and those which were appointed rulers in Syria and Phenice, should be careful not to meddle with the place, but suffer Zorobabel, the servant of the Lord, and governor of Judea, and the elders of the Jews, to build the house of the Lord in that place.

Modern English

He also ordered that Sisinnes, governor of Syria and Phoenicia, and Sathrabuzanes, and their associates, the appointed officials in Syria and Phoenicia, should keep away from that place, and allow Zerubbabel, servant of the Lord and governor of Judea, along with the elders of the Jews, to build the house of the Lord on that site.
