| - | The earliest literary mention of a [[butler]] is probably that of the man whose release from prison was predicted by [[Joseph (Hebrew Bible)|Joseph]] in the [[biblical]] account of Joseph's interpretation of the dreams of the [[Pharaoh]]'s servants. The word "butler" derives from the [[Old French]] ''bouteillier'' (cup bearer), from ''bouteille'', (bottle), and ultimately from Latin. The role of the butler, for centuries, has been that of the chief steward of a household, the attendant entrusted with the care and serving of wine and other bottled beverages which in ancient times might have represented a considerable portion of the household's assets. | + | '''Pharaoh''' is a title used in many modern discussions of the [[ancient Egypt]]ian rulers of all periods. |
