(Hebrew: א),

ADMATHA (heb), one of the 'seven princes' (cp Ezra7:14) at the court of Ahasuerus (Est.1:14; [BAK, L om.]). According to Marquart, however, these seven names have arisen from an original three (cp the three satraps, Dan. 61 f.) of which CARSHENA is one, Shethar and Tarshish are corrupt variations of the second, and Meres and Marsena corruptions of the third. Admatha (or rather {heb}) would then be the father of Haman, and for {heb} (cp note to MEMUCAN) should be substituted {heb} (the designation applied to Haman).

והקרב אליו כרשׁנא שׁתר אדמתא תרשׁישׁ מרס מרסנא ממוכן שׁבעת שׂרי פרס ומדי ראי פני המלך הישׁבים ראשׁנה במלכות׃
