Brown-Driver-Briggs Expanded Definition

אָסְמַּרְנָא adverb thoroughly, RV with (all) diligence (Zend asp§ Revelation , asperenõ, Persian sipar£, asper£, all complete, Castell [1669], Thes Haug^{JBW 1853,154} Lag^{Semitic i. 48} Andr^{Marti, Gl. 53*} Scheft^{MGWJ 1903,415 (correcting Arisches im AT. 73f.)}); — Ezra 5:8 ׳אמִתְעַבְדָא, Ezra 6:8,12,13; Ezra 7:17,21,26 (compare Old Aramaic אספרן, on a weight, complete, correct: Lab²²³, Cooke¹⁹³).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

אָסְפַּרְנָא (Milêl) adv. Ch. carefully, studiously, diligently. Ezra 5:8, 6:8, 12 Ezra 6:12, 13 Ezra 6:13, 7:17, 21 Ezra 7:21, 26 Ezra 7:26. LXX. ἐπιδέξιον, ἐπιμελῶς, ἐτοίμως. Vulg. studiosè, diligenter. The origin of this word is doubtless to be sought in the Persic (see אַדְרַזְדָּא ), although the etymology and signification are not certain. Bohlen (symb. p.21) thinks it to be از فرنان i.e. out of wisdom, for wisely, diligently; Kosegarten with Castell prefers to compare سيرى seperi and اسيرى entirely, perfectly.
