Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river,.... The receivers of his tribute, tax, and custom, beyond the river Euphrates, on the side towards the land of Israel:
that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven; see Ezra 7:12,
shall require of you, it be done speedily; which seems at first a grant at large for whatsoever he should want or demand, but is limited and restrained by what follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
All the treasurers - The Persian system of taxing the provinces through the satraps involved the establishment in each province of at least one local treasury.
