Arsaces (Ἀρσάκης, Arsakēs). A name adopted by thirty some Parthian kings after Arsaces I, who founded the kingdom in 250 bc. The sixth in this line (known as Mithridates before becoming king) is said to have captured Demetrius II, a Seleucid ruler and oppressor of the Jews (1 Macc 14:1–3). Rome forbade Arsaces VI, among other kings, to make war on their Jewish allies (see also 1 Macc 15:22).
