Vocabulary of the Greek NT

τετραάρχης, so read in the critical texts (see WH Notes.2, p. 152, where the form is put down as possibly ";Alexandrian";), ";a tetrarch"; or governor of the fourth part of a district. The title is applied in the NT to Herod Antipas (Matthew 14:1, al.). For the ordinary spelling see the 2nd declension form τέτραρχος Θεσσαλῶν in Syll.3 274 II. (B.C. 337), and Φιλίππου τετραρχίας ἔργον in ib. 220 (B.C. 346?) (with the editor’s note) : also CIG III. 4033 Τι. Σεουῆρον βασιλέων καὶ τετραρχῶν ἀπόγονον.
