Lysias:
(dissolving) a nobleman of the blood‐royal (1 Maccabees 3:32; 2 Maccabees 11:1) who was entrusted by Antiochus Epiphanes (circa B.C. 166) with the government of southern Syria and the guardianship of his son Antiochus Eupator (1 Maccabees 3:32; 2 Maccabees 10:11). After the death of Antiochus Epiphanes, B.C. 184, Lysias assumed the government as guardian of his son, who was yet a child (1 Maccabees 6:17). In B.C. 164 he, together with his ward, fell into the hands of Demetrius Soter, who put them both to death (1 Maccabees 7:2-4; 2 Maccabees 14:2).
