daughter of the admirable Bartacus, sitting at the right hand of
the king,

1Esdr 4:30
And taking the crown from the king's head, and setting it
upon her own head; she also struck the king with her left hand.

1Esdr 4:31
And yet for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her with
open mouth: if she laughed upon him, he laughed also: but if she
took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to flatter, that
she might be reconciled to him again.

1Esdr 4:32
O ye men, how can it be but women should be strong, seeing
they do thus?

1Esdr 4:33
Then the king and the princes looked one upon another: so he
began to speak of the truth.

1Esdr 4:34
O ye men, are not women strong? great is the earth, high is
the heaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he compasseth
the heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again to his
own place in one day.

1Esdr 4:35
Is he not great that maketh these things? therefore great is
the truth, and stronger than all things.
