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.
