CARCAS:

By: Emil G. Hirsch, Gerson B. Levi

One of the seven chamberlains serving Ahasuerus and ordered by him to bring Queen Vashti into the royal presence (Esth. i. 10). The Septuagint gives a different name—ΘαραΒὰ. The Targum allegorizes five of the names, but leaves "Zethar" and "Carcas" unexplained.
