Mordecai, the Persepolis Tablets, and the Susa Excavations
Abstract
272 because it is obvious that Noah culminates the genealogy as the tenth generation. In so doing, they continue the rabbinic maxim that "all sevenths are favorites" (Pesiqta de-Rav Kahana [ed. S. Buber], 154b-155a; Wayyiqra Rabba xxix 9; etc.). 21 B.

In the Elamite tablets of the Fortification archive we find names graphically and phonetically similar to the names of various other characters from the Book of Esther, which Edwin Yamauchi compared in a convenient table.
“Также весьма интересным является тот факт, что в эламских табличках Архива укреплений мы находим имена, графически и фонетически схожие с именами разных других персонажей из книги Эсфирь 109 , которые профессор Эдвин Ямаути сопоставил в удобной таблице 110 .”

Instead of one Akkadian tablet from Borsippa and one name Marduka, we now have many Elamite tablets with analogous names Mar-du-uk-ka, Marduk-ka, or Mar-du-kan-na-sir, which may refer to four persons.
“Связано это с тем, что вместо одной аккадской таблички из Борсиппы и одним именем Мардука, у нас в распоряжении теперь множество эламских табличек 95 с аналогичным именем в виде Mar-du-uk-ka , Marduk-ka , или Mar-du-kan-na-sir 96 , которые могут относится к четырем лицам 97 .”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
