ACC ~ Matthew 14 v1

HEROD THE TETRARCH

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: Herod the king is one person, Herod the tetrarch, his son, is another. After King Herod’s death the Romans divided his kingdom into a tetrarchy, and one part of the tetrarchy went to his son. This is the man who beheaded the Forerunner and who, for this reason, received his due punishment not long afterward. [1] FRAGMENT 77. [2]

[1] Herod Antipas was deposed by Emperor Caligula and sent into exile in Gaul.
