son, also called Antiochus Epiphanes, was betrothed. A.D. 43, to Drusilla, the daughter of Agrippa (Jo- sephus, Ant. xix, 9, 1). He assisted Titus in the final siege of Jerusalem (Josephus, War, v, 11, 3; Tacitus, Hist, v, 1). But in A.D. 72 lie was accused by Psetus, governor of Syria, of conspiring with the Parthians against the Komans, and, being deposed from his kingdom, retired first to Laceda^mon and then to Rome, where he spent the remainder of his life in great re- spect (Josephus, War, vii, 7).
Antiochus, bishop of Ptolemais in Palestine, a Syrian by birth. At the beginning of the fifth cen- tury he went to Constantinople, where his eloquent preaching gained him the reputation of another Chrys- ostom. He died not later than 408. Besides many sermons, he left a large work "against Avarice,'' which is lost.— Theodoret, Dial, ii ; Phot. Cod. 288 ; Act. Concil. Ephes. iii, 118; Labbe, Catal. Codd, Vin- dobon. pt. i, p. 116, No. 58.
Antiochus, monk of St. Saba, near Jerusalem, at the time of the capture of Jerusalem by the Persians (A.D. 614), and author of an "Epitome of Christian Eaith" (YlaveiKTtjc rjjc 'Ayiag rpadiijg), first publish- ed in Latin by Tilman (Paris, 1543, 8vo) ; reprinted in the Bibliotheca Patntm (Paris, 1579; Colon. 1618; Lugd. 1677) ; in the original Greek, first by Ducanis, in the Auctarii Bill. I'utr. (Par. 1624), reprinted in Morell's Bibl. Patr. (Par. 1644), and a considerable fragment in Eabricius's Bibl. Grccc. x, 501.
Antipaedobaptists (from avri, against, Tca'ic, child, and jiaTrrtZoJ, to baptize), persons who object to the baptism of infants, on the assumption that Christ's commission to baptize appears to them to restrict this ordinance to such only as are taught, or made disci- ples ; and that consequently infants, who cannot be thus taught, ought to be excluded. The Baptists, Campbellites, and Mennonites are Antipaedobaptists. See those titles.
An'tipas Ckvr'nrac, for 'Avr'nrarpoQ, Antipater; comp. Josephus, Ant. xiv, 1, 3), ihe name of three men.
1. A son of Herod the Great by Malthace, a Sa- maritan (Joseph. Ant. xvii, 1, 3; War, i, 28, 4). He inherited of his father's dominions only Galilee and Perasa (B.C. 5), as tetrarch (q. v.), with a yearly in- come of 200 talents (Joseph. Ant. xvii, 8, 1 ; 11, 4); Jesus was thus within his territorial jurisdiction (Luke xxiii, 7). He first married the daughter of the Ara- bian king Aretas, but afterward became enamored with Herodias, his half-brother Philip's wife, and con- tracted a clandestine marriage with her, on which ac- count the Arabian princess indignantly returned to her father (Joseph. Ant. xviii, 5. 1). Herodias in- veigled her new husband into the execution of John the Baptist (Matt, xiv, 4). His former father-in-law, Aretas, not long afterward (according to Josephus about one year before the death of Tiberius, i. e. A.D. 36) declared war against him, on pretence of a dispute about boundaries, but probably in reality to avenge the insult to his daughter, and entirely routed his army (Joseph. Ant. xviii, 5, 1), but was obliged to de- sist from farther steps by the intervention of the Ro- mans. Antipas visited Rome on the accession of Ca- ligula, although fond of ease, at the instance of his vain and ambitious wife, in order to secure the same royal title (which is derisively ascribed to him in Mark vi, 14) that his nephew Herod Agrippa had just acquired (Joseph. Ant. xviii, 7, 1) ; but upon the ac- cusation of the latter he was dethroned by the empe- ror (A.D. 39; see Ideler, Chronol. ii, 309 sq. ; comp. Joseph. Ant. xviii, 6, 11; 7, 2), and, together with Herodias, who would not desert him in his misfor- tune, banished to Lyons in Gaul (Joseph. Ant. xviii, 2), not to Vienna (Euseb. Hist. Eccles. i, 11), but died in Spain (Joseph. War, ii, 9, 6), whither he eventu- allj- removed. (See Koch, De anno natal i J. < '. per n >i- mum etfata Antipce demonstrate, Helmst. 1721 ; comp.

Zorn, Biblioth. Antiq. i, 1021.) Although Josephus relates no great series of infamous acts on the part of Antipas, it is yet very evident that he was a frivolous prince (comp. Mark viii, 15 ; Luke xiii, 32), abandon- ed to the pleasures of life (comp. Joseph. Ant. xviii, 4, 5), destitute of firmness of character (comp. Luke xxiii, 11), aware of his faults (Luke ix, 7 sq.), yet not disinclined to arbitrary acts (Luke xiii, 38), whom Luke (iii, 19) charges with many crimes {irovnpa), as like- wise Jewish tradition paints in the most disadvanta- geous light (Noble, Hist. Idum. p. '251 sq.). — Winer, i, 484. See Herod.
2. A person " of royal lineage" in Jerusalem, and city treasurer, the first man seized by the assassins during the last war with the Romans, and soon after butchered in prison (Josephus, War, iv, 3, 4 and 5).
3. A "faithful martyr," mentioned in Rev. ii, 13. A.D. ante 100. He is said to have been one of our Saviour's first disciples, and a bishop of Pergamus, and to have been put to death in a tumult there by the priests of iEsculapius, who had a celebrated temple in that city (Eusebius, Hist. Eccl. iv, 5). Tradition re- lates that he was burned in a brazen bull under Domi- tian {Acta Sanctt rum, ii, 3, 4). His day in the Greek calendar is April 11 {Menol. Gr. iii, 51).
