Epicrates [1]
( Ε᾿Πικράτης , Controller, a common Gr. name), one of the generals left by Antiochus Grypus, in connection with Callimander, in charge of the Syrian forces besieging Hyrcanus in Samaria, but whose cupidity led him to betray Scythopolis into the hands of the Jews (Josephus, Ant. 13:10, 2, 3).
