MITHREDATH (Pers. = ‘given by Mithra, or the sun’). 1. The Persian treasurer, whom Cyrus commanded to deliver to Sheshbazzar the sacred vessels ( Ezra 1:8 = Esther 2:11 Esther 2:11 Mithradates ). 2. Apparently a Persian officer stationed in Samaria. Together with his colleagues he wrote to Artaxerxes (Longimanus) to hinder the re-building of the walls of Jerusalem ( Ezra 4:7 = Esther 2:16 Esther 2:16 Mithradates ).
