mith - ra - dā´tēz (Codex Alexandrinus Μιθραδάτης , Mithradátēs ; Codex Vaticanus Μιθριδάτης , Mithridátēs ; the King James Version Mithridates ):

(1) The treasurer of Cyrus to whom the king committed the vessels which had been taken from the temple and who delivered them to the governor, Sanabassar (1 Esdras 2:11 = "Mithredath" of Ezra 1:8 ).

(2) Apparently another person of the same name - one of the commissioners stationed in Samaria who wrote a letter to Artaxerxes persuading him to put a stop to the rebuilding of Jerusalem (1 Esdras 2:16 = "Mithredath" of Ezra 4:7 ).
