International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
tē´resh ( תּרשׁ , teresh ( Esther 2:21; Esther 6:2 ); Codex Vaticanus, Codex Alexandrinus, and Codex Sinaiticus omit it; but Codex Sinaiticus' margin has Θάρας , Tháras and Θάρρας , Thárras ): A chamberlain of King Ahasuerus. Oppert compares the name with Tiri-dates, the name of the governor of Persepolis in the time of Alexander. Another explanation identifies it with the Persian word turs "firm"; Scheft links it with the Persian tarsha, "desire."
