Biblical Aramaic

† תַּתְּנַי proper name, masculine Persian prefect in Syria; — Ezra 5:3, 6; Ezra 6:6, 13; Θανθανας, A Θαθθαναι; Τανθαναιος, Σισιννης; also 3 Esdr 6:3; 7:26 Jos^{Ant. xi.} 12,89, etc. (Lag^{Psalt. Hieron.162 n.}; AS^{§135 n.}; Mey^{Entst. J. 32} assumes Old Persian *Thithnaya, or *Thathnaia); but Uštanni, Uštanu, was prefect in Syria under Darius, according to contract tablets. See Strassm^{Darius 27, 82}; names probably identical; Meissn^{ZAW xvii (1897), 191 f.} reads therefore ושׁתני (וַשְׁתָּנִי Hpt), compare Buhl Gu^{Ezr-Neh. 63}; Scheft⁹⁴, however, thinks תתני = תסני Old Persian thāsna, Avestan sāsna (teaching), and this transposed in New Babylonian Uštanu
