persian masc. proper name, in cl-ssical history, a son of xerxes ii, also a son of darius, from greek artaxerxes (explained by herodotus as “great warrior”), from old persian artaxšaca, literally “having a kingdom of justice,” from arta- “justice” + xšaca “kingdom.”

the greek form of the name of several persian kings. (1.) the king who obstructed the rebuilding of the temple (ezra 4:7). he was probably the smerdis of profane history. (2.) the king mentioned in ezra 7:1, in the seventh year (b.c. 458) of whose reign ezra led a second colony of jews back to jerusalem, was probably longim-n-s, who reigned for forty years (b.c. 464-425); the grandson of darius, who, fourteen years later, permitted nehemiah to return and rebuild jerusalem.
