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 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 (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.
