a -thar´a -tēz : A title assigned to Nehemiah, probably by a later editor (Nehemiah 8:9 ). The Septuagint omits the title; the Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible , 390-405 ad) gives "Athersatha"; the King James Version reads "Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha." Tirshatha is the Persian title for a local or provincial governor (Nehemiah 8:9 = 1 Esdras 9:49). See TIRSHATHA .
