AV - tetrarch 4; 4

1) a tetrarch
   1a) a governor of the fourth part of a region. Thus Strabo states
       that Galactia was formerly divided into three parts, each one
       of which was distributed into four smaller subdivisions each
       of which was governed by a tetrarch. Strabo relates that
       Thessaly, before the time of Philip of Macedon, had been
       divided into four tetrarchies, each having its own tetrarch.
   1b) the governor of a third part or half a country, or even a
       ruler of an entire country or district provided it were of
       comparatively narrow limits; a petty prince. Thus Antony made
       Herod (afterwards king) and Phasael, sons of Antipater,
       tetrarchs of Palestine. After the death of Herod the Great,
       his sons, Achelaus styled an ethnarch but Antipas and Philip
       with the title of tetrarchs, divided and governed the kingdom
       left by their father.
