TIRIDATES, or TERIDATES

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 1010 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TIRIDATES, or TERIDATES , a Persian name, given by Arrian in his Parthica (preserved by Photius, cod. 58, and
Syncellus
 , p. 539 seq.) to the brother of
Arsaces
  I., the founder of the
Parthian
  kingdom, whom he is said to have succeeded. But Arrian's account seems to be quite unhistorical (cf.
PARTHIA
 ).
The king commonly called
TIRIDATES
  II. was set up by the Parthians against Phraates IV. in 32 B.C., but expelled when Phraates returned with the help of the Scythians (Dio Cass. li. 18;
Justin
  xlii. 5 seq.; cf.
Horace
 , Od. i. 26).
Tiridates
  fled to Syria, where
Augustus
  allowed him to stay, but refused to support him. During the next years Tiridates invaded
Parthia
  again; some coins dated from
March
  and May, 26 B.C., with the name of a king "
Arsaces
  Philoromaios, " belong to him; on the
reverse
  they show the king seated on the throne, with Tyche stretching out a palm branch towards him. He was soon expelled again, and brought a son of Phraates into Spain to
Augustus
 . Augustus gave the boy back to his father, but declined to surrender " the fugitive slave Tiridates " (
Justin
  xlii. 5; Dio liii. 33; cf. Mon. Ancyr. 5, 54; in li. 18 Dio has wrongly placed the surrender of the son in 30 B.C.).
