THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on Second Book of Esdras (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

7:70 Athersatha: That is, Nehemias; as appears from chap. 12. Either that he was so called at the court of the king of Persia, where he was cupbearer: or that, as some think, this name signifies governor; and he was at that time governor of Judea.
