		In the autumn of the same year, the cause of Deiotarus was unsuccessfully pleaded by Brutus before Caesar at Nicaea in Bithynia.
		From this it appears that his grandson, Castor, had accused him of a design against Caesar's life when he received him in Galatia, and also of an intention of sending troops to the aid of Caecilius Bassus.
		Vossius conjectures that the Castor mentioned by Cicero was son to the one whom Strabo and Suidas speak of, and that Deiotarus put the latter to death because he had instigated the younger Castor to accuse him.

		Suidas describes the grammarian and rhetorician Castor as a son-in-law of the Galatian king Deiotarus (whom, however, he calls a Roman senator!), who notwithstanding afterwards put to death both Castor and his wife, because Castor had brought charges against him before Caesar,—evidently alluding to the affair in which Cicero defended Deiotarus.
		But it is, to say the least, extremely doubtful whether the rhetorician had any connexion with the family of Deiotarus at all.
		The Castor who brought Deiotarus into peril is expressly called a grandson of that king, and was yet a young man at the time (b.

	Pharnaces II of Pontus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pharnaces decided to seize the opportunity and, with the forces under his disposal, and against little opposition, made himself the ruler of Colchis and lesser Armenia.
		Deiotarus, the king of Armenia appealed to Domitius Calvinus, the lieutenant of Caesar in Asia, for support, and soon the roman forces sought battle with Pharnaces.
		They met at Nicopolis in Armenia, and Pharnaces so defeated the romans that he was easily able to use his army to overwhelm Pontus.

		Deiotarus, a chief of the Tolistobogii tribe, began to take central leadership of the Celtic peoples in Galatia, and successfully defeated Pontus.
		Roman general Pompey granted Deiotarus the title of king of all Galatia in 64 B.C. King Deiotarus proved himself to be a wily Celt indeed as he played the political situations in the Roman civil wars of the next decades.
		Famous Romans like Cicero and Marc Antony spoke out in his favor, and Deiotarus was able to keep his reign in Galatia, until his death in 40 B.C. Deiotarus was followed in the kingship of Galatia by his son Deiotarus II, and then by Amyntas.

	Galatia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the settlement of 64 BCE Galatia became a client-state of the empire, the old constitution disappeared, and three chiefs (wrongly styled “tetrarchs “) were appointed, one for each tribe.
		But this arrangement soon gave way before the ambition of one of these tetrarchs, Deiotarus, the contemporary of Cicero and Caesar, who made himself master of the other two tetrarchies and was finally recognized by the Romans as 'king' of Galatia.
		On the death of the third king Amyntas in 25 BCE, however, Galatia was incorporated by Augustus in the Roman empire, though near his capital Ancyra (Ankara) Pylamenes, the king's heir, rebuilt a temple of the Phrygian goddess Men to venerate Augustus, as a sign of fidelity.

	Speech in Behalf of King Deiotarus by Cicero
		Deiotarus was king of Galatia, and during Cicero's proconsulship in Cilicia he had formed a friendship with him, and had been of great assistance to him in his campaign against Pacorus and the Parthians.
		It is probable that Caesar was aware of the groundlessness of the charge, but countenanced it, and allowed it to be brought before him, in the hopes of finding a pretext for stripping the king of all the rest of his dominions.
		The present trial was held in Caesar's house, and Cicero proved the king's innocence so completely that Caesar was unable to condemn him; but, as he would not acquit him, he adjourned the further consideration of the matter till he himself could go into the East and investigate the affair on the spot.

		But on the other side, the legion of Pontus having given way, the second line, which advanced to sustain them, making a circuit round the ditch, in order to attack the enemy in flank, was overwhelmed and borne down by a shower of darts, in endeavoring to pass it.
		Thus the legion of Pontus being almost wholly cut off, with great part of those of Deiotarus, the thirty-sixth legion retreated to an eminence, with the loss of about two hundred and fifty men.
		Thus Caesar, staying nowhere longer than the necessity of the seditions in the city required, and having settled all things relating to the provinces with the utmost success and dispatch, returned to Italy much sooner than was generally expected.

		Without negotiating further, Caesar took with him the one legion which he brought from Alexandria and the troops of Calvinus and Deiotarus, and advanced against the camp of Pharnaces at Ziela.
		Deiotarus alone, the most powerful of the clients of Pompeius, was again confined to his narrow hereditary domain, the canton of the Tolistobogii.
		In his stead Ariobarzanes king of Cappadocia was invested with Lesser Armenia, and the tetrarchy of the Trocmi usurped by Deiotarus was conferred on the new king of the Bosporus, who was descended by the maternal side from one of the Galatian princely houses as by the paternal from that of Pontus.

		To the thirty-sixth legion Deiotarus added two more, which he had trained up for several years, according to our discipline; and a hundred horse.
		Domitius, more concerned at Caesar's danger than his own, and believing he could not retire with safety, should he now desire the conditions he had rejected, or march away without any apparent cause, drew his forces out of the camp, and ranged them in order of battle.
		He placed the thirty-sixth legion on the right, that of Pontus on the left, and those of Deiotarus in the main body; drawing them up with a very narrow front, and posting the rest of the cohorts to sustain the wings.

		Listening to Deiotarus' grandson trumpet his charges -- quite unbelievable that the old King plotted to have Caesar murdered -- rather put in mind of my nephew Quintus' whispering campaign against me. You may recall that when Caesar was campaigning in Spain every word he heard about me was malicious and false.

		The Romans, however, were soon occupied with their own internal political turmoil, the war in Gaul under Caesar, and the civil war that followed.
		The Galatians, despite their political and government shift remained mostly quiet, and the Romans formally recognized Deiotarus as the Galatian King.
		This political situation remained in effect until after the victory of Octavian in the second civil war, and his ascension as Augustus.

		As a reward for their services, Deiotarus, their chief tetrarch, received the title of king, and his dominions were greatly extended.
		The extravagant devotion of Deiotarus, says Lightfoot, "fully bears out the character ascribed to the parent race." But the Emperor Tiberius and many officials in the empire were ardent devotees of augury.

		There are, perhaps inevitably, errors in the Greek and Latin quotations; the passages are not translated and a certain lack of regard to the syntax of the original passages in the excerpting can make them difficult to read.
		They seem to be comprehensive, though the author is not explicit about this; Deiotarus the Great rejoices in six pages of citation from Greek and Roman sources.
		To conclude, I regard the title of the book as slightly misleading since the bulk of the work in the book has gone into assembling a list of onomastic data with full citation.
