De gode tider for Kommagene kongedømmet begrænsede sig til de 26 år under kong Antiochus I Epiphanes, og hans hierothesium, et af de kun meget få kommagene overleveringer, gik over i glemselen, indtil det blev genopdaget af ottomanske geologer i 1881.

2) Mithras — moreover, a Mithras who was identified with the Greek Sun god Helios — was one of the deities of the syncretic Graeco-Iranian royal cult founded by Antiochus I (q.v.), king of the small but prosperous buffer state of Commagene (q.v.) in the mid first century BCE.
It is improbable in the extreme that this cult played no part in the transmission of Mithra-worship westwards, although nothing about it compels one to accept that it was a prototype of the Roman mysteries.
