Usage: The term דִּכְרוֹן is used in the context of a written record or register, often for the purpose of remembrance or official documentation. Context: • The Aramaic term דִּכְרוֹן appears in the context of the Persian period, reflecting the administrative practices of keeping records and registers. This term is found in the book of Ezra, which details the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon and the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. The use of דִּכְרוֹן in Ezra 6:2 highlights the importance of written records in the Persian administration, as it refers to a memorandum or record that was found in the archives at Ecbatana. This record confirmed the decree of King Cyrus regarding the rebuilding of the temple, underscoring the significance of such documents in validating historical and legal claims. The practice of maintaining registers and records was crucial for governance and legal proceedings in the ancient Near East, and דִּכְרוֹן serves as an example of this practice within the biblical narrative.
