Rashi, on Neh 10:2

“Saraias, Azarias, Jeremias,”

“And signed thereon He now proceeds to enumerate the signatories on the testimonial document of the acceptance of the commandments. Nehemiah Hattirshatha It is one name, and this is what I explained (Ezra 2:63) that [the name] Hattirshatha refers to Nehemiah. And why was he called Hattirshatha? Because the Sages permitted him to drink wine of gentiles, because he was the butler of the king.”
