Tetrarchy of Chalkis, Coele Syria, Ptolemaios, 85 - 40 B.C.
|Kingdom| |of| |Chalkis|, |Tetrarchy| |of| |Chalkis,| |Coele| |Syria,| |Ptolemaios,| |85| |-| |40| |B.C.|, The whole of Galilee had once been in the possession of the Itureans, and had been taken away from them in 103 B.C. by Aristobulus I (Josephus, Ant. xiii. 11, § 3). Ptolemaios attempted to recover this lost territory and sent expeditions (Strabo, xvi. 2, § 10); that subjugated several districts on the Phoenician coast, once held Paneas, and threatened Damascus (Josephus, Ant. xv. 10, §§ 1-3). The Jews thought themselves oppressed by Ptolemaios, and hence Aristobulus II, at that time still prince and sent by his mother, Alexandra, undertook an expedition against Damascus to protect it against Ptolemaios (ibid. 16, § 3; idem, B. J. i. 5, § 3).
