<p> ''''' | <p> ( '''''Ἀριαράθης''''' , apparently compounded of the [[Persian]] prefix ''Ari-,'' the essential element of the old national name '''''Σαριοι''''' ''Or '''''Σαρειοι''''' ,'' Herod. 3, 93; 7:762; signifying "honorable;" see Dr. Rosen, in the Quar. Jour. of Educa. 9, 336; and the [[Zend]] ratu, "master," Bopp, Vergleichende Grammatik, p. 196; Pott, Etymologische Forschungen, p. 36), a common name of the kings of [[Cappadocia]] (see Smith's Diet. of Class. Biog. s.v.), one of whom is named in the [[Apocrypha]] ( 1 [[Maccabees]] 15:22), as ruling that country during the time of the [[Jewish]] governor Simon, about B.C. 139. (See [[Attalus]]). </p> <p> The king there designated is doubtless [[Ariarathes]] V, surnamed Philopator ( '''''Φιλοπάτωρ''''' , ''Lover Of Hisfather),'' who reigned B.C. 163-130, called [[Mithridates]] before his accession (Diod. 31, or vol. 10, p. 25, ed. Bip.), who was supported by Attalus II in his contest with the pretendent to the throne, [[Holofernes]] or Orophernes (Polyb. 3, 5; 32:20; Appian, Syr. 47; Justin. 35:1), but was hard pressed by the [[Syrian]] King Demetrius. Having been reinstated on his throne by the Romans, among whom he had been brought up (4:42:19), he sent his son Demetrius, in connection with Attalus of Pergamos, to assist [[Ptolemy]] [[Philometor]] against the usurper Alexander Balas, B.C. 152 (Justin. 35:1). (See [[Alexander]]). </p> <p> After a reign of thirty-three years he fell in battle, B.C. 130, while aiding the Romans against Aristonicus, prince of Pergamos, who had inherited the throne of his father Attalus III (Justin. 36:4; 37:1; Liv. Epit. 59). [[Letters]] were addressed to him from Rome in favor of the [[Jews]] ( 1 Maccabees 15:22), who in after times seem to have been numerous in his kingdom ( Acts 2:9; comp. 1 Peter 1:1). </p> | ||
