Rulers
The line of tetrarch.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Herod Archelaus | 4 BCE – 6 | 10 years | ending not on record | |
| Salome I | 4 BCE – 10 | 14 years | ending not on record | |
| Philip the Tetrarch | 4 BCE – 34 | 38 years | died in office, manner not recordedread off the dates alone | nephew or niece |
| Herod Agrippa | 41 – 44 | 3 years | ending not on record |
5 rulers, 4 with terms dated as terms, covering 4 BCE – 44. Only 48 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 2 of 3 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What led to it, and what came of it
The investigation's own picture: 2 causes the record names and 1 result, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.
