DEIOTARUS
, a See also:tetrarch of See also:Galatia (Gallo-Graecia) in See also:Asia See also:Minor, and a faithful ally of the See also:Romans
.
He is first heard of at the beginning of the third Mithradatic See also:war, when he drove out the troops of See also:Mithradates under Eumachus from See also:Phrygia
.
His most influential friend. was See also:Pompey, who, when settling the affairs of Asia (63 or 62 B.C.), rewarded him with the See also:title of See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)

king and an increase of territory (Lesser See also:Armenia)
.
On the outbreak of the See also:civil war, Delotarus naturally sided with his old See also:patron Pompey, and after the See also:battle of Pharsalus escaped with him to Asia
.
In the meantime Pharnaces, the son of Mithradates, had seized Lesser Armenia, and defeated Deiotarus near See also:Nicopolis
.
Fortunately for Diotarus, See also:Caesar at that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time (47) arrived in Asia from See also:Egypt, and was met by the tetrarch in the See also:dress of a suppliant
.
Caesar pardoned him for having sided with Pompey, ordered him to resume his royal attire, and hastened against Pharnaces, whom he defeated at Zela
.
In consequence of the complaints of certain Galatian princes, Delotarus was deprived of See also:part of his dominions, but allowed to retain the title of king
.
On the See also:death of Mithradates of See also:Pergamum, tetrarch of the Trocnii, Delotarus was a See also:candidate for the vacancy
.
Other tetrarchs also pressed their claims; and, further, Delotarus was accused by his See also:grandson See also:Castor of having attempted to assassinate Caesar when the latter was his See also:guest in Galatia
.
See also:Cicero, who entertained a high See also:opinion of Deiotarus, whose acquaintance he had made when See also:governor of See also:Cilicia, undertook his See also:defence, the See also:case being heard in Caesar's own See also:house at See also:Rome
.
The See also:matter was allowed to drop for a time, and the assassination of Caesar prevented any final decision being pronounced
.
In his speech Cicero briefly dismisses the See also:charge of assassination, the See also:main question being the See also:distribution of the provinces, which was the real cause of the quarrels between Delotarus and his relatives
.
After Caesar's death, See also:Mark Antony, for a large monetary See also:consideration, publicly announced that, in accordance with instructions See also:left by Caesar, Delotarus was to resume See also:possession of all the territory of which he had been deprived
.
When civil war again See also:broke out, Delotarus was persuaded to support See also:Brutus and See also:Cassius, but after the battle of See also:Philippi went over to the triumvirs
.
He remained in possession of his See also:kingdom till his death at a very advanced See also:age
