(ὕπατος, i.e. highest in office), a title applied (1 Maccabees 15:16) to Lucius (q.v.), the Roman officer, whose communication to Ptolemy is there cited. The Sept. elsewhere uses the same Greek term as a rendering of the Chald. אֲחִשְׁדִּרְפְּנַין, satraps ("princes," Daniel 3:2-3), and הִד בְרַין, viziers ("counsellors, Daniel 6:7, etc.).
