Ezra 6:1 reports that Darius accepted the advice of Tattenai and ordered a search of the library in Babylon. Interestingly, the relevant document was not found in Babylon, but in Ecbatana, the summer home of the Persian kings (see the second textual note on Ezra 6:2). The reply of Darius is not reported in full, since the narrators of the Aramaic report (Ezra 4:8-6:18) did not include a superscription listing the recipients and the sender, as was normal in Aramaic letters, nor is there any greeting. It is difficult to tell where the letter from Darius begins. We can be certain that Ezra 6:6-12 was from the letter.

The contents of the memorandum match closely the narrative in Ezra 1 and the claims of the Judean elders reported by Tattenai in Ezra 5:13-15. However, the memorandum contains a few additional details. The memorandum specifies the following:
