פרתנדי   adj.  noble


  noble  LJLA.  TgEsth2 1:3(6) : והוו פרתנדאי ורברבני מדינתא קדמוי  [=MT: ‏הַפַּרְתְּמִים וְשָׂרֵי הַמְּדִינוֹת לְפָנָיו] †.

Probably an error for the Hebrew form, itself from Old Persian. Note the variant cited in Levy: פרתונאי; one might suggest an original פרתמאי, which would easily account for both scribal variants.
