The steward whom the prince of the eunuchs set over Daniel and the three Hebrew children.

Smith's Bible Dictionary
Melzar
(steward). The Authorized Version is wrong in regarding melzar as a proper name; it is rather an official title, (Daniel 1:11,16) the marginal reading, "the steward," is therefore more correct.
