Aman

ā´man ( Ἀμάν , Amán ; Codex Vaticanus reads Ἀδάμ , Adám ): Tobit 14:10; Additions to Esther 12:6; 16:10, 17, probably in each case for Haman, the arch-enemy of the Jews in the canonical Book of Esther (compare Esther 3:1 with Additions to Esther 12:6). In Additions to Esther (16:10) Aman is represented as a Macedonian, in all other points corresponding to the Haman of the Book of Esther.
