Tetrarch.

A tetrarch, [tetrarches ,] from [tetras ,] four, and [arche ,] government, properly signifies a prince, or ruler over a quarter of any region; and had its origin from Galatia, which was governed by four princes.

In the New Testament, however, it denotes a prince, or king, who reigns over the fourth part of a former kingdom.

By Herod's will his kingdom was thus divided among his sons: Archelaus had one-half, consisting of Idumea, Judea, and Samaria; Herod Antipas, one-fourth, consisting of Galilee and Perea; and Philip the remaining fourth, consisting of Batanea, Trachonitis, and Auranitis.
