Phasaelis |
---|
Phasael[1] or Pasiel[2] (born in 5/4 BCE),[1] in Greek sources Phasaelis,[3] was a princess of Nabatea, daughter of King Aretas IV Philopatris[1][3] and the first wife of Herod Antipas,[3] ruler of Galilee and Perea.
... the Nabataean Pṣʾl, to which may correspond the Greek Φασάηλος, must reflect an Aramaised spelling with a realisation of the III-y verb with a final -ā, thus, Faṣā-ʾel.
We know that his daughter Phasaelis married the tetrarch Herod Antipas. (p. 84) Aretas IV was not only married to Queen Shaqilath/Shuquaylat, ... but he was also the husband of Huldu, one of the daughters of Obodas. (p. 88)
