balneator (latin) - Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob Grimm und Wilhelm Grimm

balneator
N M
bath-attendant; keeper of a bathhouse
http://www.babylon.com/definition/balneator/English

The "bath-man," broadly defined. His role and duties are most unclear and appear to have varied from place to place. In some instances, the balneator seems to be the manager of a facility, in others he is a minister performing a host of tasks: collecting money at the door, pouring water over customers, anointing, keeping the cloakroom, and even stoking the furnaces and procuring. What all of these notices take for granted, however, is that the balneator is very much on-the-spot, a visible representative of the management, if not the actual management. A fragment of Petronius makes mention of a balneatrix, a female balneator, but this is probably little more than a joke.
