Abdissares(87 words)
[German version]
A king of Armenia known from coins, to whom the twelfth pedestal of the paternal ancestors of Antiochus [16] I of Commagene can be assigned. Thus he would be the son of Arsames and the father of Xerxes of Armenia as well as the ruler who committed himself to make tribute payments to Antiochus [5] III (Pol. 8,25). His reign may fall in the decade before 215 BC.
