It is highly probable that Adds A, C, D, and F were originally composed in Hebrew and later added to the text prior to its translation in Greek; see Moore, “On the Origins of the LXX Additions to the Book of Esther,” JBL 92 (1973), pp. 382–393; see also Raymond A. Martin, “Syntax Criticism of the LXX Additions to the Book of Esther,” JBL 94 (1975), pp. 65–72.
