Ezra 6:7 Douay-Rheims

And let that temple of God be built by the governor of the Jews, and by their ancients, that they may build that house of God in its place.

Eusebius of Caesarea

c. A.D. 260–339 Patristic

And this was nothing wonderful for God to do, who, in the captivity of the people under Nebuchadnezzar, when the Scriptures had been destroyed, and the Jews had returned to their own country after seventy years, afterwards, in the time of Artaxerxes, king of the Persians, inspired Ezra the priest, of the tribe of Levi, to relate all the words of the former prophets, and to restore to the people the legislation of Moses. [quoting Irenaeus] Such are the words of Irenaeus.
