Aretes = "graver" 
1) An Arabian king 
 
He made war in 36 A.D. on his son-in-law Herod Antipas for having 
divorced his daughter; and with such success as completely to 
destroy his army. In consequence of this, Vitellius, governor of 
Syria, being order by Tiberius to march an army against Aretes, 
prepared for war. But Tiberius meantime having died, (Mar. 16, 37), 
he recalled his troops from march, dismissed them to winter 
quarters, and departed for Rome. After his departure Aretas held 
sway over the region of Damascus (how acquired we do not know), and 
placed an ethnarch over the city, who tried to capture Paul.
