George Leo Haydock, on Esth 3:12

“And the king’s scribes were called in the first month Nisan, on the thirteenth day of the same month: and they wrote, as Aman had commanded, to all the king’s lieutenants, and to the judges of the provinces, and of divers nations, as every nation could read, and hear according to their different languages, in the name of king Assuerus: and the letters, sealed with his ring,”

“Lieutenants. Literally, “satraps.” Hebrew achashdarpene, “courtiers,” (Haydock) or those who are in the presence of his majesty, or porters. (Calmet) — They were entrusted with the care of the different provinces. (Haydock)”
