<p> ''''' ap ''''' - ''''' o ''''' - ''''' lō´ni ''''' - ''''' us ''''' ( Ἀπολλώνιος , <i> ''''' Apollō̇nios ''''' </i> ): A common name among the Syro-Macedonians. Prideaux ( <i> Connexion </i> ) interrupts his narrative of the year 148 bc to give an account of the different persons who bore this name (1) Son of [[Thrasaeus]] (2 Macc 3:5) who was governor of [[Coele-Syria]] (Palestine and Phoenicia) under [[Seleucus]] Philopator, when [[Heliodorus]] came to [[Jerusalem]] to rob the temple, and afterward, by his authority in that province, supported Simon the governor of the temple at Jerusalem against [[Onias]] the high priest. He was also chief minister of state to King Seleucus. But on the accession of [[Antiochus]] Epiphanes, Apollonius, in some way becoming obnoxious to the new king, left Syria and retired to Miletus. (2) A son of (1) who, while his father resided at Miletus, was brought up at Rome along with Demetrius, son of Seleucus Philopator, and at that time held as a hostage by the Romans. This [[Apollonius]] lived in great intimacy with Demetrius, who, on recovering the crown of Syria, made him governor of Coele-Syria and Phoenicia, the same government which his father held under Seleucus Philopator. He seems to have been continued in the same government by [[Alexander]] (1 Macc 10:69) but he revolted from him to embrace the interest of Demetrius. (3) Son of Menestheus, and favorite and chief minister of Antiochus [[Epiphanes]] (2 Macc 4:21). He went as ambassador from Antiochus, first to Rome (Livy xlii.6) and afterward to [[Ptolemy]] Philometor, king of Egypt (2 Macc 4:21). This is generally held to be the same who is said to have been over the tribute (1 Macc 1:29; 2 Macc 5:24) and who, on the return of Antiochus from his last expedition into Egypt, was sent with a detachment of 22,000 men to destroy Jerusalem. He attacked the [[Jews]] while keeping the [[Sabbath]] day holy and slew great multitudes of them (2 Macc 5:24-27). (4) [[Governor]] of [[Samaria]] in the time of Antiochus Epiphanes. He was slain in battle by [[Judas]] Maccabeus (1 Macc 3:10, 11; <i> Ant </i> , Xii , vii, 10). (5) Son of [[Gennaeus]] (2 Macc 12:2); as governor of a toparchy in [[Palestine]] under Antiochus [[Eupator]] he proved a bitter enemy of the Jews. </p> | |||
