Edit Fail?[edit]

"The position placed his life on the line every day yet gave Nehemiah authority and high pay. , and was held in high esteem by him, as the record shows." What is this supposed to say? 71.206.217.214 (talk) 17:31, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hieroglyph[edit]

Could somebody please tell me the source of the hieroglyph image? I have been unable to locate any source indicating the A9 was the symbol for "cupbearer." Please help me identify the source of this claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.40.239.83 (talk) 05:52, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Cześnik[edit]

Cześnik is the Romanian cup-bearer. The article is a short and not unique. I propose merging into its "parent" article. gidonb (talk) 14:30, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Pinkernes[edit]

A pinkernes was a Byzantine cup-bearer. Cup-bearer contains this important chapter, however it is empty with just a message to look elsewhere for information. Annoying for the reader and no need for this, as the pinkernes article is short and the cup-bearer article isn't particularly long either. gidonb (talk) 11:52, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the Byzantine title is a very specific iteration of this court function. It has a clear scope, and can (and will some day) be augmented by a list of holders etc., therefore it should remain as a separate article. Wikipedia is full of country-specific instances of generic titles/functions. Constantine ✍ 13:03, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
