Ezra 5:13

Context
5:13 But in the first year of King Cyrus of Babylon, 1  King Cyrus enacted a decree to rebuild this temple of God.

Ezra 6:15

Context
6:15 They finished this temple on the third day of the month Adar, which is the sixth 2  year of the reign of King Darius.

1 sn Cyrus was actually a Persian king, but when he conquered Babylon in 539 b.c. he apparently appropriated to himself the additional title “king of Babylon.” The Syriac Peshitta substitutes “Persia” for “Babylon” here, but this is probably a hyper-correction.

2 sn The sixth year of the reign of Darius would be ca. 516 B.C.
