<p> (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 (&nbsp;Esther 1:10). B.C. 483. </p>
