Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Sarsechim seems to be the name of a Bab. [Note: Babylonian.] official ( Jeremiah 39:3 ), but the versions Nabousachar, Nabousarach, Sarsacheim suggest that the text was early corrupt. There is no known Bab. [Note: Babylonian.] name which exactly corresponds to any of these variants, and it is impossible to identify the person intended.

(Heb. Sarsekim', שִׂרְסְכַים , probably Prince Of The Eunuchs; Sept. [with great confusion] Ναβουάχαρ v.r. Ναβουσαρσαχίμ , etc.; Vulg. Sarsachien ) , one of the generals of Nebuchadnezzar's army at the taking of Jerusalem ( Jeremiah 39:3), B.C. 588. He appears to have held the office of chief eunuch, for Rabsaris (q.v.) is probably a title and not a proper name. In Jeremiah 39:13, Nebushasban is called Rab-saris, "chief eunuch," and the question arises whether Nebushasban and Sarsechim may not be names of the same person. Gesenius conjectures ( Thesaur. s.v.) that Sarsechim and Rab-saris may be identical, and both titles of the same office. (See Samgar-Nebo).

The best emendation is the reading " Nebhōshazibhon " ( = Nabûšêzib - anni , "Nebo delivers me"); this is based on the reading in Jeremiah 39:13 .
