Arioch, the captain of Nebuchadnezzar's royal guard in the book of Daniel.
A Babylonian proper name borne by the captain of the king's bodyguard under Nebuchadnezzar. Arioch appears exclusively in Daniel 2, where he is tasked with executing the wise men of Babylon but instead brings Daniel before the king after the prophet offers to interpret the royal dream. All five occurrences cluster within this single episode (Dan 2:14–25), making Arioch a minor but pivotal narrative figure who facilitates Daniel's access to the throne.

1. sense 1 — The proper name Arioch (ʾaryôk), identifying the captain of Nebuchadnezzar's royal guard in Daniel 2. He is commanded to destroy the wise men of Babylon (Dan 2:14–15) but relays Daniel's request for an audience, ultimately escorting the prophet to the king (Dan 2:24–25). The name may derive from a Sumerian or Akkadian original. Across translations (spa 'Ariok,' fra 'Ariok,' eng 'Aryokh'), the name is consistently transliterated with minimal variation, indicating its well-established place in the biblical onomasticon. 5×
