Do you mean this serious? I follow you (snip) and date for myself the 
Assyrian annaly too to the 1st century BCE...

Please sleep once more over this idea.

Sometimes I wonder and I ask myself, why do you want partout to have the 
Chronicles and so on Late Hellenistic. Is it fashionable, or why?

There is no problem to show you markers in the text presupposing a partial 
pre-exilic date.
