**The whole BDB entry:** n.m. a kind of vessel, basin or basket (?; others basket-like, basket-shaped vessel); only pl. cstr. אֲגַרְטְלֵי זָהָב, \& א׳ כֶסֶף, both Ezr 1:9, denoting vessels from temple at Jerus. restored by Cyrus. (Etym. \& meaning dub. cf. supr.; A 𝔊L Codd. 𝔊 ψυκτῆρες, wine-coolers; B om.; now commonly compared with Aramaic קַרְטָלִיתָא Levy NHWBiv. 376, ܩܰܪܛܳܠܴܐ, Arabic قِرْطَلَّةٌ, قِرْطَالَةٌ, supposed to be loan-word from Hellenist. Gk. κάρταλος, κάρταλλος (e.g. 𝔊 2 K 10:7, Heb. דּוּדִים), all = basket, fruit-basket, etc., canistrum (so MV BeRy SS); but κάρταλλος itself is possibly a Pers. or Shemit. loan-word; cf. especially Frä77 f.; further conject. in Thes BeRy.)
