Adiabene <ref name="term_557" /> | |||
<p> ''''' ā ''''' - ''''' di ''''' - ''''' a ''''' - ''''' bē´nē̇ ''''' ( Ἀδιαβηνή , <i> ''''' Adiabēnḗ ''''' </i> ): A state lying on the east of the Tigris, on the greater and lesser rivers Zab, in the territory of ancient Assyria. For the half-century terminating with the destruction of [[Jerusalem]] by Titus, [[Adiabene]] is especially interesting by reason of the careers of its king, Izates, and his mother Helena, who became Jews. They had their part in the Jewish-Roman wars, and in various ways were typical of the existing situation. (See <i> Ant </i> , XX, 2-5; <i> BJ </i> , II, xvi, 4; xix. 2; V, iv, 2; vi. 1; xi. 5; VI, vi, 4.) [[Somewhat]] later Adiabene was absorbed into the Roman [[Empire]] and became one of the six provinces which formed the larger province of Assyria, though Pliny and Ammianus sometimes call the large province by the name Adiabene. </p> | <p> ''''' ā ''''' - ''''' di ''''' - ''''' a ''''' - ''''' bē´nē̇ ''''' ( Ἀδιαβηνή , <i> ''''' Adiabēnḗ ''''' </i> ): A state lying on the east of the Tigris, on the greater and lesser rivers Zab, in the territory of ancient Assyria.
