Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]

Dorymenes . The father of Ptolemy Macron, who was a trusted friend of Antiochus Epiphanes ( 2Ma 4:45 ), and was chosen by Lysias to command the Syrian army in Pal. in conjunction with Nicanor and Gorgias ( 1Ma 3:38 ).

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [2]

( Δορυμένης ), father of Ptolemy, surnamed Macron ( 1 Maccabees 3:38;  2 Maccabees 4:45). As this Ptolemy was in the service of Ptolemy Philometor, king of Egypt, before he deserted to Antiochus Epiphanes, it is possible that his father is the same Dorymenes who fought against Antiochus the Great (Polyb. 5:61).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [3]

dō̇ - rim´e - nēz ( Δορυμένης , Doruménēs ): Father of Ptolemy Macron (1 Macc 3:38; 2 Macc 4:45); probably the same man who fought against Antiochus the Great (Polyb. v.61).
