The book of 4 Ezra, or 2 Esdras, is counted as one of the pseudepigrapha.

The book was probably originally written in Hebrew, but it survives only in several ancient translations, of which the Latin is chief. This book in the Latin Vulgate bears the title of 4 Esdras; in English it usually bears the title of 4 Ezra or the Ezra apocalypse:

Hebrew Masoretic. Greek Septuagint. Latin Vulgate. English Authorized.
Ezra Esdras B I Esdras Ezra
II Esdras Nehemiah
- Esdras A III Esdras I Esdras
- - IV Esdras II Esdras
