Bigtha [1]

(Heb. Bigtha', בַּגְתָא , Gesenius thinks perhaps Garden, (See Bigvai); but, according to Furst [Handwort. s.v.], the first syllable בַּגאּ appears to be the Βαγ so often met with in Persian prop., names [e.g. Bagorazus, Bagoas; (See Bigthan), (See Abagtha) ], possibly connected with the Zend. baga and Sanscrit bhag c, fortune; while the termination אּתָא or אּתָן for אּת נָא may be the - Τάνης likewise occurring in Persian prop. names [e.g. Otanes, Catanes, Petanes], from the Sanscrit Tanu, Zend. Ten, Body or Life; Sept. Βαραζί , but other copies [by confusion with one of the other names] Ζηβαδαθά ; Vulg. Bagatha), the fourth named of the seven eunuchs ( סָרַיסַים , "chamberlains"), having charge of the harem of Xerxes ("Ahasuerus"), and commanded to bring in Vashti to the king's drinking- party ( Esther 1:10). B.C. 483.
