Meaning

Illustrious, The i-lus'-tri-us (thaumastos): A title of rank and merit attached to the name of Bartacus, the father of Apame (Esdras 4:29, the King James Version "the admirable). Instead of "the illustrious" we should possibly read "colonel" (Ant., XI, iii, 5; EB, under the word).
See BARTACUS, APAME.
