Melzar

Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)

Probably a Persian word meaning master of wine, i.e., chief butler; the title of an officer at the Babylonian court (Dan. 1:11, 16) who had charge of the diet of the Hebrew youths.

Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)

(steward). The Authorized Version is wrong in regarding melzar as a proper name; it is rather an official title, (Daniel 1:11,16) the marginal reading, “the steward,” is therefore more correct.

Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (1869)

circumcision of a narrow place, or of a bond
