(uh fahr' ssitess) KJV transliteration of Aramaic term in Ezra 4:9 variously translated and interpreted by modern translators and Bible students: men from Persia (NIV); Persians (RSV); secretaries (NAS). The verse is difficult to read in the original language, and no satisfactory interpretation has been offered.
