MELZAR. A proper name (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ), or official title (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘steward’) in Daniel 1:11; Daniel 1:16 , in both cases with the article. It is generally agreed that the word is a loan-word from the Assyr. [Note: Assyrian.] massaru , ‘guardian,’ and stands for one who was teacher and warden of the royal wards. Cheyne, however, is led by the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] to conclude for Belshazzar as the true reading, and to read in Daniel 1:11 : ‘And Daniel said to Belshazzar, prince of the eunuchs,’ etc.
