Note 167 — Chapter XI · JUDAEA AND THE JEWS.

This title, which primarily denotes the collegiate tetrarchate, such as was usual among the Galatians, was then more generally employed for the rule of all together, nay, even for the rule of one, but always as in rank inferior to that of king. In this way, besides Galatia, it appears also in Syria, perhaps from the time of Pompeius, certainly from that of Augustus. The juxtaposition of an ethnarch and two tetrarchs, as it was arranged in the year 713 41 B.C. Judaea, according to Josephus (Arch. xiv. 13, 1; Bell. Jud. i. 12, 5), is not again met with elsewhere; Pherores tetrarch of Peraea under his brother Herodes (Bell. Jud. i. 24, 5) is analogous.
