* Sarsechim.
These were the principal commanders; but Dr. Blayney thinks
that, instead of six persons, we have in reality but three, as
the name that follows each is the title of the office. Thus
Nergal-Sharezer, who was Samgar-nebo, or keeper, i.e., priest
of Nebo; Sarsechim, who was Rab-saris, or chief eunuch; and
Nergal-sharezer, who was Rab-mag, or chief magi; as the words
{mog} in Persian, {magoos} in Arabic, {magooshai} in Syriac,
and [magos [,] in Greek,
signify; and we learn from Justin and Curtius that the magi
attended the king in war.
